Sensors Measure Millions of Durability Test Cycles

August 17th, 2005

The Series 200B, 200C and 210B piezoelectric dynamic impact force sensors accurately measure dynamic impact force. Unlike strain gage sensors that are suitable for measuring static loads, dynamic impact force sensors possess the necessary response and endurance to accurately follow fast-rising, repetitive and short-duration force events such as actuation or operation of various automotive accessories and components. The sensitivity of piezoelectric force sensors does not change with time, thus they are suitable for continuous automotive durability testing.

The sensors come in a variety of sizes and ranges and all feature a durable impact surface to evenly distribute impacts into the force sensor. ICP® and charge output versions are available; signal conditioning is also offered. Durability applications include compression, impact and fatigue testing of latches, doors, hoods, trunks, seats, springs, actuators, suspensions, chassis, brackets and other automotive accessories and components.
