Method/Kit Description
Force Transducer (Thorlabs) Application of force to the elastic element causes it to deflect and this deflection is then sensed by a secondary transducer which converts it into a measurable output. The output may be in the form of electrical signal as in strain gauge and linear variable differential transducer (LVDT) type load cells or mechanical indications as in proving rings and spring balances.
