Force Sensor

Also see the Force Meter

There are 2 force sensors in our new sensor series:

One has  ±50 Newton range and a resolution of 0.1 N

the other has a ±8 Newton range and a resolution of 0.016 N

The following points apply to both sensors

  1. Logger compatibility :ScienceScope Type 1 (Click for details)

  2. maximum recording frequency with Datadisc is 61 microseconds

  3. Best suited for dynamic force measurements such as spring-mass systems

There is an attachment pack available containing a hook, 2 springs and a ping pong ball
