Force & Measurement Trainer

Description:

Strain and Force Measurement Trainer is an ideal setup for introducing strain gauge measurement to students. It introduces the operation principle of strain gauges and the conversion methods between electronic raw data and strain and force.

Developed for use with a wide variety of NI’s data acquisition platforms – easy-to-use, highly expand-able programmable automation controllers, intelligent communication interfaces, and rugged I/O modules. These

industrial I/O modules filter, calibrate, and scale raw sensor signals to engineering units and perform self-diagnostics to look for problems.

Students will learn how to connect bridge type sensors, strain in bending, torsion, and tension, force measurement using load cells and measurements using the LVDT, …etc.

Curriculum Coverage:

• Acquiring Physical Phenomena
• Bending Strain & Stress
• Torsional Strain & Stress
• Tensile Strain & Stress
