FORCE MEASUREMENT
Introduction
Force can be defined as the cause that produces resistance or
Introduction
Force can be measured directly by Mechanical or Electrical sensors The Electrical Sensors are called Load Cells A Load Cell is a transducer that converts mechanical force into
electrical signals.
There are many different types of load cells that operate in different ways, but the most commonly used load cell today is the strain gage (or strain gauge) load cell.

DISADVANTAGES
Need to be protected from angular load.
Primary and secondary coil windings are wound through the holes.
They are perpendicular to each other.

The pressure thus obtained will be equal to the input force applied. The value is measured using a bourdon tube.

Mounting of a load washer in this way is illustrated in the fig. below.
TORQUE MEASUREMENT
Introduction
Torque is a twisting or turning force about an axis, that can be applied in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
Magnetostrictive transducers
The ability of a shaft material to concentrate magnetic flux, magnetic
Conclusion
Force and Torque Measurement is an important aspect for determining
