Abstract

Precision and traceable measurement of small forces have become increasingly important due to the rapid change in technology and miniaturization of devices. In this paper, we have discussed the design, development and metrological aspects of double bending beam force transducer for low-force measurements. To achieve this task, elastic spring element  is designed and machined for fabricating the force transducer and virtually tested through the finite element analysis (FEA) method to validate its load capacity and to understand its mechanical behaviour. The metrological capability of spring element is determined with the application of small forces, sensing the applied forces through contact and non-contact methods. In the contact method, strain gauges are employed for the detection of induced strain on the spring element. For this, the maximum and minimum strain values and their distribution are found to get the optimum normalized output in the electrical unit of mV/V. In the non-contact method, a pair of light-emitting diode (LED) and light-dependent resistor (LDR) is utilized for the detection of the bending caused by the applied force. The optimal detectable deflection is found in the spring element through FEA. The experimental characterization results of the force transducers showed that the developed force transducers have good metrological capability in terms of high linearity and repeatability in the range of 0.3–3 N.

用于低力测量的双弯曲梁力传感器的开发与性能评估
由于技术的日新月异和设备的微型化,小力的精确和可溯源测量变得越来越重要。本文讨论了用于低力测量的双弯曲梁力传感器的设计、开发和计量方面的问题。为了完成这项任务,我们设计并加工了用于制造力传感器的弹性弹簧元件,并通过有限元分析(FEA)方法对其进行了虚拟测试,以验证其负载能力并了解其机械性能。弹簧元件的计量能力是通过施加较小的力来确定的,并通过接触式和非接触式方法对施加的力进行感应。在接触法中,应变计用于检测弹簧元件上的感应应变。为此,需要找到最大和最小应变值及其分布,以获得以 mV/V 为电气单位的最佳归一化输出。在非接触式方法中,利用一对发光二极管(LED)和光敏电阻(LDR)来检测外力造成的弯曲。通过有限元分析找到了弹簧元件的最佳可探测挠度。力传感器的实验表征结果表明,所开发的力传感器具有良好的计量能力,在 0.3-3 N 的范围内具有较高的线性度和可重复性。

期刊介绍: MAPAN-Journal Metrology Society of India is a quarterly publication. It is exclusively devoted to Metrology (Scientific, Industrial or Legal). It has been fulfilling an important need of Metrologists and particularly of quality practitioners by publishing exclusive articles on scientific, industrial and legal metrology. The journal publishes research communication or technical articles of current interest in measurement science; original work, tutorial or survey papers in any metrology related area; reviews and analytical studies in metrology; case studies on reliability, uncertainty in measurements; and reports and results of intercomparison and proficiency testing.
