generated by a quartz force sensor will decay over time, long-term static
measurements are not practical. Short-term or quasi-static measurements
are possible within certain time limits. The QFG 200 utilizes quartz­sensing crystals to convert the applied force into a proportional, electri­cal measurement signal. This sensor contains built-in, microelectronic
circuitry to condition this signal for transmission to readout or record­ing instruments. Quartz force sensors measure rapidly changing dy­namic compression, tensile, and impact forces and adapt to a wide range
of applications. Two physical sensor configurations are available. The
first configuration has a side connector with 10-32 tapped mounting
holes on the top and bottom. The second configuration has an axial
output connector. This sensor is preferred when mounting space is at a
minimum and for drop test applications.
