Design and evaluation of a six-component load cell

A novel multi-component strain-gauge external balance for wind tunnel tests: Simulation and experiment

“…The Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of this aluminum alloy were 72 GPa and 0.33 respectively which were applied to the FE software. In designing the commercial single component load cells the strain value of 1000 (resulting in the rated sensitivity of 2 mV/V) is commonly considered at the gauge positions [14]. However, a lower rated sensitivity of about 1 mV/V at maximum capacity was used in this work to provide acceptable sensitivity and reduce the interference errors as well as the possibility of yielding by stress concentration [6,10].…”

Design and optimization of a novel six-axis force/torque sensor for space robot

“…J.W. Joo [7] developed a six-component load cell based on double parallel plate structure (PPS). Gab-Soon Kim [8][9][10] fabricated several six-axis force/moment sensors for robot based on parallel plate beams (PPB).…”

Force transducers – A review of design and metrological issues

“…Despite of many methods available for force measurement, strain gauged force transducers are predominant. Joo et al (2002) discussed the paper describing the design process and evaluation results of a compact six-component load cell, which is area of recent development and related to multi component force / torque transducer in addition to uni-axial force / torque transducers. A new six-component load cell including a ring-type structure as the basic sensing element has been developed.…”

“…A new six-component load cell including a ring-type structure as the basic sensing element has been developed. The location of strain gauges applications have been identified using finite element analysis and arranged accordingly into Wheatstone bridge (Joo et al, 2002). Field and Beams (2005) studied the project report that discusses the basics of strain gauges and how to use strain gauges for load cell development for measurement of force.…”
