FSS Series Benefits:
RoHS-compliant materials
allow use in industries requiring
regulation compliance. Low deflection
helps reduce measurement error.
Direct mechanical coupling of the
actuation ball to the sense element
reduces coupling errors and keeps
mechanical hysteresis to a minimum.
20 million MCTF provides for consistent
output over time and reduces repairs
or replacements. Small size minimizes
space on the PCB. Enhanced sensitivity
results in low system noise and reduced
measurement errors. Electrically
ratiometric output accommodates
supply voltage variations, leading to
low ratiometricity error. Low voltage
supply allows for use in many battery
powered applications. High resistance to
electrostatic discharge reduces special
handling during assembly. Sensor output
has low sensitivity to many mounting
stresses. Potential medical applications
include infusion pumps, ambulatory
non-invasive pumps, occlusion detection,
kidney dialysis machines, and enteral
pumps; potential industrial applications
include load and compression sensing,
variable tension control, robotic endeffectors,
and wire bonding equipment.

AEROSPACE LINEAR FORCE AND ROTARY TORQUE SENSORS:
Linear Force and Rotary Torque Sensors:
Honeywell’s force and torque sensors are often ideal for a number
of measurement and feedback applications on aircraft. These
sensors measure the forces applied by the pilot or co-pilot to the
elevator, aileron, and rudder
flight control systems. Sensor
output is used both by auto-pilot
and flight data recorder.
Force is measured using integral
load cells, and conditioned
using internal electronics prior
to transmission to the flight data
recorder. A mechanism in each
sensor allows the device to
continue to function as a control
linkage in the unlikely event of sensor failure.
Control Rod Force Sensor:
A proven design for harsh
environments, this sensor group features a sensing element
gauged with an accurately calibrated metal foil strain gauge.
Torque Sensor:
This input quadrant torque sensor provides
a zero-backlash interface and slip ring cable exit. Its sensing
element utilizes a load cell gauged with metal foil strain gauges.
In both sensors, a secondary load path integral to the sensor
ensures proper function of flight controls in all potential failure
modes.
