The dynamometer consists of a four component sensor fitted
under high preload between a baseplate and top plate.
The four components are measured practically without
displacement.
It must be taken into account that combined and eccentric
loads may reduce the measuring ranges.
The sensor is mounted ground-insulated. Therefore ground
loop problems are largely eliminated.
The dynamometer is rustproof and protected against penetration
of splashwater and cooling agents.
For each component a 2-range miniature charge amplifier is
integrated in the dynamometer. The output voltages of the
charge amplifiers are digitized and transmitted by telemetry to
the stator. The remote controlled range switching and an
optionally switchable zoom channel allow to use the measuring
ranges in an optimal manner
