The multi-component sensor K6D80 allows force and torque measurement in three mutually perpendicular axes.
The multi-component sensor K6D80 distinguish itself by a big measuring range for torques at the same time with the small outer diameter.
With this multi-component sensor of the „second generation“ is used rod construction, which absorbs forces and torques directly on the pitch circle of the fastening thread. Thereby, the maximum stiffness and the biggest measuring range will be achieved for the torques.
The force transmission is applied on the 1 mm raised segments. The inner diameter of segments is used for the centering. Due to segmented, ring-shaped front surface, the optimal force transmission and therefore the best possible reproducibility in the range of about 0,1 % will be obtained.
The multi-component force sensor is very well suited for use in robotics, e.g.

• For collision detection
• “Teach-In”
• Presence detection and error detection
• Force or torque-controlled operation
• Load measurement in medicine, prosthetics, orthopaedic engineering or gait analysis
• Measurement in sports medicine
• Comfort / ergonomics measurements

The force and torque loadings are evaluated e.g. using a GSV-8AS measurement amplifier or an integrated electronic of type GSV-6.
The sensor K6D80 2kN/100Nm is made of aluminium alloy, the sensor K6D80 5kN/250Nm is made of high-strength stainless steel 1.4542.
