Construction
Hardware Overview
When the right-side inner hub adapter is attached to the transducer assembly, the
slip-ring outputs the transducer bridge signals and angular position to the TI.
Internal wiring provides excitation power to the strain gage bridges and brings
signals out from the transducer to the slip ring. A transducer data cable attaches
from the slip ring cable connector to the back panel of the TI.
Transducer Interface
(TI)
The TI provides power to the transducer and uses previously stored calibration
values to convert the raw transducer signals from the bridge outputs and the
encoder to three force outputs (Fx, Fy, Fz), three moment outputs (Mx, My, Mz)
and an angle output. The force and moment outputs have a value of 10 V full
scale, unless a different full-scale output is requested by a customer. The angle
output is a 0–5 V sawtooth output.
Additional
components
Additional components that are supplied with your SWIFT sensor include
transducer data cables, TI power cable, a SWIFT Transducer Interface Utilities
CD or disk, and the calibration file. MTS can also provide a 12 V DC power
converter for use in the test laboratory.
