Product Description

Force Sensor
Product No.: TS2106
Measuring range: -50N~+50N
Resolution: 0.03N
Accuracy: ±1%F.S
 

Introduction:
Micro Current Sensor is used to measure tiny current signal in circuit. Sensitive sampling resistor with 300Ω is designed in the sensor. When current passes through resistor, it will form a tiny electric potential difference at both ends of the resistor. After circuit amplifying, voltage is direct proportional to current. It can accurately measure the micro current.

Calibration:
The sensitive component of Force Sensor is a resistance strain gauge. It is attached to the metallic cross girder. It measures the force from two directions when the cross girder is deformed. The sensor converts force signal into voltage signal via resistance strain gauge. During using the strain gauge, the resistance of metal wire will change by its deformation. Metallic cross girder is designed in sensor. When there is force applying on metal hook, metallic cross girder will deform and resistance will change. After circuit amplifying, it can accurately measure force value.
Force Sensor can be used to measure pulling force and pressure. When pulling force is applied on metal hook, positive value is displayed. When pressure is applied on the metal hook, negative value is displayed. During using, make sure the force direction is vertical to the front surface of sensor otherwise the measured value will not be accurate.
Calibration:
TS2106 Force Sensor needs to be calibrated before using. Connect sensor to datalogger. Open SWR iLab. Do not hang anything on the metal hook. Click 'calibration' . Select 'Force Sensor'. Click 'calibrate'. Click 'calibrate' , 'OK', 'OK' and 'exit'.
The metal itself has weight. Even if there is nothing hang on the hook, no matter place it level or vertical, the data display will be different. There will be slightly error occurs. Thus, when we use it to measure a force on particular direction, we should calibrate the Force Sensor on that direction.


Usage:
There are two threaded hole on Force Sensor (M6). The threaded hole 2 is used with through-hole at front side to fix it on holder. You can also fix it on L shaped holder using these two threaded holes.

Typical experiment:
Explore the Hooke's law
Newton's third law
Theorem of momentum
Metal expands by heat and contracts by cold
Explore the simple harmonic motion
Overweight and weightlessness
Archimedes's floating law

Notes:
Force Sensor needs to be calibrated before using.
Keep the direction of measured force vertical to the front panel of sensor to ensure the accuracy.
Keep the Force Sensor dry.
Please keep the force applied to the sensor not exceeding measuring range during measuring. Otherwise it may damage the Force Sensor.
