• Impact measurements, Crash testing, Punch and tablet presses, Package drop testing

• Quartz impact force sensors are specifically designed for compressive impact loading. Most are supplied with removable impact caps with a curved impacting surface. This helps avoid “edge loading” and directs the applied force to the center of the sensor. The cap provides an added benefit of protecting the surface of the sensor. Should the surface of the cap become damaged through repeated impacting, it can easily and economically be replaced.

• Impact force sensors are available in many standard ranges and 3 standard sizes for measuring dynamic and short term static compression and impact forces from 0.0002 to 50k lb (0.0009 to 220k N). The low profile and small inertial mass make them an excellent choice for fast transient and repetitive pulse applications. These sensors measure compression forces on punch presses, tablet presses, metal forming machines and impact testers. They are commonly used for controlling, monitoring, sorting, counting, adjusting, calibrating and shock testing.
