Force Sensor

Measure the force between two flanges

 Description The Force Sensor component generates an output signal proportional to the force between two translational flanges.
 Equations $y={K}_{\mathrm{toUnit}}{f}_{a}=-{f}_{b}$ ${s}_{a}={s}_{b}$

Variables

 Name Units Description Modelica ID ${f}_{x}$ $N$ Force applied to ${\mathrm{flange}}_{x},x\in \left\{a,b\right\}$ flange_x.f ${s}_{x}$ $m$ Absolute position of ${\mathrm{flange}}_{x},x\in \left\{a,b\right\}$ flange_x.s ${K}_{\mathrm{toUnit}}$ Conversion factor to selected units

Connections

 Name Description Modelica ID ${\mathrm{flange}}_{a}$ Translational flange flange_a ${\mathrm{flange}}_{b}$ Translational flange flange_b $y$ Sensor output y

Parameters

 Name Default Units Description Modelica ID $\mathrm{toUnit}$ $N$ Units of output signal toUnit
