A trapezoidal-shaped force transducer is designed and demonstrated metrologically for static force measurement. The presented design has been investigated by finite element analysis and validated through experimental measurements. Metrological characterization of the force transducer is done based on guidelines of standard ISO 376: 2011, and relevant factors have been considered for evaluation of uncertainty of measurement of the force transducer. The transducer measures the force with an uncertainty of up to ± 0.05% (k = 2) and 0.10% (k = 2) in strain gauged force transducer and dial gauged force proving instrument, respectively, in the operating range (50–100% of nominal capacity). The superficial design characteristics of the transducer make it very economical for experimental and trade pacts. For a range of modern technologies, force measurement sensors and sensor-enabled industrial infrastructure play a critical role. In Industry 4.0, metrological traceability and the utilization of sensors, instruments, and machinery are in high need, and this demand will grow in the coming years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
