Column force transducers for base metal strain gauges are a type of transducer that is widely used to measure force and pressure. It consists of an elastic element and one or more strain gauges, which deform when subjected to an external force, causing a change in the resistance of the strain gauges. By measuring the change in resistance, it is possible to determine the amount of force and pressure exerted on the sensor.
The design of cylindrical force transducers is usually based on a metal cylinder or cylinder and is characterized by high stiffness and relatively low cost. During the manufacturing process, strain gauges are glued to the elastic elements of the sensor in order to convert the deformation into an electrical signal. These strain gauges are usually made of metal foil and have high sensitivity and stability.
The advantages of column force transducers include high accuracy, high sensitivity, good linearity, fast response and low hysteresis. In addition, due to their robust construction and simple mechanical design, the column force transducer has a long service life and reliability. These features make column force transducers the first choice for many industrial applications, such as pressure measurement, weighing systems, level and level gauges, etc.
In practice, the performance of column force transducers is affected by a variety of factors, such as temperature, humidity, mechanical shock and vibration. In order to ensure the accuracy and stability of the measurements, proper calibration and maintenance of the column force transducer is required. In addition, depending on the application, different types of column force transducers can be selected, such as single- or double-ended force types, different measuring ranges, and different output signals.
