Description 835-844
This paper demonstrates the design and development of a trapezoidal-shaped force transducer with simple assembly to
accommodate easy strain gauging on flat surfaces. Finite element analysis has been performed for computational studies.
The design is validated based on experimental results. Force metrology has been discussed in detail following the standard
procedures as per ISO 376: 2011. Metrological investigation for category D (includes reversibility and interpolation) shows
that the proposed design of the force transducer, achieved class 0.5 standards of force transducers with uncertainty in the
measurement of only up to 0.10 % or better throughout at a nominal capacity of 15 kN (tensile load). The methodology
proposed here paves way for future efforts to develop miniaturized strain gauged force transducer for a wide range of
micromachining and similar other precision engineering industrial applications. Force measurement is an integral part of
various industrial applications that require installation of force transducers. Sometimes, these transducers are required for
on-site calibration of large testing machines. So, the current research work discusses and describes the designing of dialgauge
as well as strain-gauge arrangements of measuring of applied force.
