FORCE SENSOR
•Force sensor is a type of transducer, specifically
a force transducer. It converts an input mechanical
force such as load, weight, tension, compression or
pressure into another physical variable, in this case, into an
electrical output signal that can be measured, converted
and standardized. As the force applied to the force sensor
increases, the electrical signal changes proportionally.

CONSTRUCTION AND
WORKING PRINCIPAL OF
FORCED SENSOR
To explain how a force sensor works, we first
have to understand how does a strain
gauge (or SG) work ? For most common force
transducers have strain gauges inside them
• A Strain gauge is a sensor whose resistance varies with applied force; It converts force, pressure,
tension, weight, etc., into a change in electrical resistance which can then be measured.
• They are electrical conductors firmly attached to a film in a meandering pattern.When this film is
pulled, it – and the conductors – get longer. When it is contracted, it gets shorter.This results in a
change in resistance in the electrical conductors, and on this basis we can determine the strain,
for resistance grows when there is strain and diminishes when there is contraction.
• When Strain gauge Increase – Resistance also Increase.
• When Strain gauge decrease – Resistance also decrease.
• Resistance is Directly proportional to length
• To produce a force sensor , in addition to strain gauges you also require a spring element – made
of steel, for example.The strain gauge electrical conductors on film, bonded securely to this
spring element.
• As the simplest form of spring element, we can picture a steel cylinder that is either elongated
or contracted under the impact of force.
• The force acting on the steel produces mechanical stress in the material, leading to strain. Spring
element with Strain Gauge.When contracted, the spring element becomes not only shorter, but
also thicker. Conversely, as it gets longer it also becomes thinner. And the Strain Gauge attached
to it naturally undergoes these changes too.
• A force sensor generally contains four Strain Gauges, connected in a "ring" in a Wheatstone
bridge circuit. Strain Gauges are firmly attached to the steel of the sensor, and therefore undergo
the same deformations it does.When the steel is deformed, the resistance of the strain
gauge changes, as mentioned above.
• So, the output signal from the bridge circuit provides information on how great
this deformation is. From this, we can calculate the force acting on the Strain Gauge.This is how
the force sensor works.
• With strain gauge-based force sensors, the processing of the mechanical variable into the
electrical signal takes place in three steps.The starting point of any force sensor with strain
gauges is a patterned steel foil, on which external loads cause strain on the surface of the
material.
• This strain is measured by means of strain gauges applied to the surface of the patterned
steel foil.The strain gauges convert the mechanical strain into a change in electrical
resistance and act as mechanical-electrical converters.Through this change in resistance,
they generate a change in voltage proportional to the force. With the help of the intelligent
connection of the individual strain gauges to form aWheatstone measuring bridge, even the
smallest strains can be measured.
Finally, How Force sensor works ?

The handgrip force is basis for dressing, eating,
cooking etc.
Reduced handgrip force reduced muscularity (e.g. used for elderly people)
For example, measurement of the hand force after an
injury of the hand shows considerably smaller values
(comparison between injured and healthy hand)

•Determination of the Clamping Force in Screw Joints
•Fit Performance of the Screw Joints by long-term
observance (soft separating layers e.g. gaskets etc.
cause permanent deformation)
•Determination ofTightening Directions
Concurrent measurement of torque and angle of rotation.
•Washer to avoid damage of the force sensor
•The washer should have grounded surfaces
•If necessary provide a grounded washer on
the assembly part side as
well
Thank you
