Multi-Grid Strain Gauges for Multi-Axis Force/Torque Sensors

Expanding Application Range of One Strain Gauge Nowadays robots play a more and more important role in the modern manufacturing which require a high automation level. This trend leads to the growing demand of the multi-axis force/torque sensors, e.g., model 8691 from BCM SENSOR. With 22-year experience with strain gauges, force sensors and torque sensors, BCM SENSOR is the expert to provide the compact and customized metal foil strain gauges for multi-axis force sensor applications. The picture herewith shows the recently Read More...

Brand-New Datasheet of BCM SENSOR Bondable Compensation Resistors to Facilitate Product Selection

BCM SENSOR has recently updated the datasheet of bondable compensation resistors (BCR). The BCR’s are designed to adjust zero, unify sensitivity or compensate zero-temperature-drift or span-temperature-drift for Wheatstone bridge circuit in sensor applications. To facilitate product selection and present the up-to-date technology, BCM SENSOR has applied the following updates in the BCR datasheet: - All the standard patterns of BCR are organized according to their applications; - Number of the standard patterns has been increased from 4 to 7; - Copper foil has Read More...
