A force sensor typically uses strain gauges that deform under applied force, changing electrical resistance. This change is measured and converted into a proportional electrical signal, such as voltage or current, representing the force magnitude.
Key parameters include rated capacity, accuracy class, nonlinearity, hysteresis, repeatability, excitation voltage, output sensitivity, input/output resistance, insulation resistance, operating and compensated temperature ranges, temperature effects, IP rating, material, and weight. These must be matched to the application requirements.
The sensor detects and quantifies the applied force during sealing, ensuring that the pressure is maintained within the required range. This helps achieve consistent and reliable seal quality by preventing under- or over-pressurization.
Relevant standards include ISO 7500-1 for accuracy class, IEC 60255-5 for insulation resistance, IEC 60529 for IP rating, and ASTM A564 for material grade. These standards serve as references for verification and should be confirmed with the manufacturer.
