AMTI's MC818 Force Platform
The MC818 transducers resolve applied loads into orthogonal force and moment components. These precision sensors feature high stiffness, high sensitivity, low cross talk, excellent repeatability and long-term stability. They exhibit the inherent ruggedness of bonded strain gauge transducers and they incorporate special seals to prevent water and oil contamination. The MC818 transducer is available with one to six outputs corresponding to Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My and Mz. Standard vertical load capacities are 1000, 2000, and 4000 pounds. Horizontal load capacities are half of the vertical rating. Models with custom capacities and layouts are available for special applications. The instrument has an eight by eighteen inch rectangular top mounting surface equipped with threaded inserts. A high-strength aluminium alloy (7075-T6) is used throughout to withstand harsh manufacturing and testing environments. A durable anodized finish protects the exterior from corrosion while elastomeric 0-ring seals protect the strain gauges and wiring. Internal potting of the strain gauges further insures long life and consistent, reliable performance. AMPLIFICATION The MC818 transducer incorporates strain gauges and four precision elements in a patented design* to isolate and measure applied forces and moments. As with all conventional strain gauge transducers bridge excitation and signal amplification are required. AMTI's GEN5 series amplifiers are high-gain devices which provide excitation and amplification for multiple channels in one convenient package. These amplifiers process the signals from a transducer and provide outputs suitable for an AID converter and digital computer or other recording instrument
