Frequently asked questions

What is included in a complete F/T System?

A complete F/T system consists of a calibrated sensor/transducer and a system interface.

How do I choose the correct calibration for my sensor model?

Consider the worst case moment load that will be applied to the sensor, as the moment capacity is the determining factor.

What causes noise in a Force/Torque measurement signal?

The document lists this as a topic under Signal Performance but does not provide the specific answer in the provided text.

How do I obtain Force and Torque values in my specified units?

The document addresses this in section 4.4, though the specific answer is not included in the provided text.
