The MBA500 Torque and Thrust Bi-Axial Load Cell is designed to measure reaction torque moments as well as tension and compression loads. Temperature-compensated and constructed of all aluminum, this torque/thrust sensor is able to achieve an impressive 0.2% nonlinearity and yet provide 150% (50 to 150 lb) 125% ((200 lb) over-capacity. Excellent performance and high precision are achieved through two separate outputs for applied torque and thrust forces. Force/Torque sensors are used throughout industry for product testing, robotic assembly, grinding and polishing. The MBA500 Torque and Thrust Biaxial Sensor offers an excellent solution for measuring Loads in tension and compression as well as torque in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction. The MBA500 is compact weighing only 6.5 oz, and offers a compact design.
As a common application for MBA500 sensor, fly by wire control system processes inputs made by either the pilot or autopilot and automatically controls the flight control surface actuators. Multi-Axis Force and Torque fly by wire sensors are heavily utilized in the flight test environment to validate the control system design based on the flight control laws.
MBA500 bi-axis load cell is a valuable tool for simultaneous torque and thrust measurement in VTOL aircraft propellers. FUTEK MBA500 Thrust and Torque Sensor is capable of measuring axial load and torque, allowing for the capture of all axial forces and torques produced by the VTOl propeller.
