WHAT IS LOAD SENSOR? TYPES, FEATURES & CASE STUDIES
The Load Sensor is a sensor that detects the force (as well as mass and torque). The sensor generates a voltage when the force is applied.
TYPES OF THE LOAD AND FEATURES
There are two types of Load Sensors:
- Strain-Gauge Sensor: Generally speaking, this type of sensor is huge and suitable for long-term monitoring of massive force.
- Piezoelectric Sensor: Although due to its mechanism, sensor drift happens often, it is small and suitable for measuring force at high speed.
MAIN USAGE OF LOAD SENSOR
Generally, a Piezoelectric Sensor is used when people want to measure small force, and a Strain-Gauge Sensor is used to measure massive force. Load Sensors are widely used in various ways such as for mass measurements, control devices in the medical field, material testings, testings in the aerospace field, and semi-conductor/electronic device testing.
OUR LOAD SENSOR AND CASE STUDIES
Our “PiezoBolt” is the bolt piezoelectric load sensor.
This sensor has a highly sensitive piezoelectric element, enabling it to measure changes in axial force on the bolt.
Just by replacing the existing bolts with “PiezoBolts”, you can monitor the state of load around the bolts mounted on the machine, and detect changes and signs from tiny cracks in the dies. We have picked some case studies for you. Please check them out.
