Multi Axis Sensor
Configurable 3-/6-Axis Sensor with All the Standard Product’s Advantages
The MCS10 multi-axis sensor measures up to 6 different forces and torques simultaneously and almost completely compensates for signal crosstalk – for exact measurement results.
MCS10 Multi-Axis Sensor: Measures 6 Forces and Moments with Accuracy Class 0.1 Guaranteed for Each Channel
Up to six forces and torques on three axes (x, y, z) can be measured in combination with the MCS10 multi-axis sensor. This means that the MCS10 is ideally suited for mechanical engineering usage, in test benches, and also in research and development. It returns a three-dimensional image of the measurement set-up with a maximum precision up to accuracy class 0.1. Thanks to the MCS10’s innovative construction with flange, it achieves the best measurements possible.
Individual signal channels of common multi-axis sensors often mutually affect each other. The MCS10 reduces this type of interference, known as crosstalk, to a minimum to ensure a problem-free signal. HBM also offers an individual compensation matrix for the MCS10, which can be used to further improve the precision, combined with an HBM measuring amplifier.
Thanks to TEDS technology the installed data acquisition unit automatically detects the MCS10. This ensures that it is ready for immediate use without extensive parameterization. All the transducer’s measurement axis can be configured independently of each other. HBM has combined the experience from numerous custom-made special transducers in the MCS10, while adding a standard product’s reliability and flexibility; for a series production product that is immediately available and quality-tested.
