Design, Development and Metrological Investigations of EN 24 Steel Based Square Ring Shaped Force Transducer

The current study reports development of an EN 24 steel-based shaped force transducer with simple design/manufacturing considerations for metrological and industrial applications. Analytical and computational investigation have been used to critically examine the force transducer (of square ring shape), and experimental observations have been used to validate the results. Metrological evaluation of force transducer is obtained by dial gauge indicator (resolution 0.1 μm/0.2 μm) and strain gauges arranged in a Wheatstone bridge as per standard ISO 376: 2011 (for class D force transducers) for the nominal capacity of 5 kN. Uncertainty measurement of the force transducer for its working range (50–100
