“…In recent years, owing to high sensitivity, high rigidity and high frequency, piezoelectric force sensors are widely used in many fields, such as ultra-precision machining [1][2][3], materials and the charge amplifier [11], the output voltage of the charge amplifier will decay exponentially, even if the input force remains constant [12]. Because of this reason, piezoelectric force sensors are usually used for measuring dynamic forces but are difficult to detect static or quasi-static forces [13].…”

Ordinary piezoelectric force sensors are only capable of measuring dynamic forces but not static forces because of the charge leakage due to the finite resistance of piezoelectric materials and charge amplifiers. This paper presents a new strategy for in-process compensation of charge leakage for force measurement with wide spectrum from static to dynamic realized by piezoelectric force sensors. The compensation is in-process operated based on the concept of dynamic accumulation. In order to improve the measurement accuracy and long-term stability by the compensation, the zero offset generated by normalization, bias current and temperature drift are all theoretically analyzed and experimentally validated. Measurement experiments of four different types of force signals, which contain static, triangle, sinusoidal and random force signals acting on the piezoelectric force sensor, are conducted to validate the proposed strategy. In addition, the effect of different time constant of the piezoelectric sensor under different applied forces on the compensated results is analyzed. Performance tests contain accuracy, resolution, span and bandwidth have been conducted. It is validated that the proposed method has high sensitivity of sub-millinewton, long-term stability and wide spectrum from static signal to dynamic measurement capabilities, which would provide an effective and precise method for micro force measurement and control in ultra-precision machining, semiconductor industry and biomechanics fields.
