Description

This sensor can measure the mass to weight
relationship and study how different pulley
systems affect the effort needed to lift weights. It
can also be used to measure push/pull forces and
impacts.
The force sensor is contained in a metal box.
There is a hook at the bottom of the box that can
be connected to various pulling loads. A simple
bumper (for push/impact measurements) could
be made and attached using a bolt which is
placed through a length of plastic tubing.
Sensor zeroing:
Connect the sensor to a voltage source (USB
module, Display unit or Battery module). To zero
the reading, just press the sensor’s push-button
for about 3 seconds.
