How can I measure forces greater than 100 lbs?
Question: How can I measure forces greater than 100 lbs?
Answer: In order to measure forces above 100 lbs. (up to 1,000 lbs.), apply a lower drive voltage and reduce the resistance of the feedback resistor (1kΩ min.) The force ranges of the sensors are based on our electronics. Please refer to FlexiForce™ Specifications Table. If Using our ELF™ electronics, there is a feature in the software which allows you to decrease or increase the sensitivity of the sensor. Refer to your ELF manual for details.
Currently, the A201 and A301 model sensors are able to measure up to 1,000 lbs, whereas the A401 model sensors are able to measure up to 7,000 lbs. Keep in mind, that the A301 and A401 model sensors are currently not compatible with the ELF system.
