Force Sensor Calibration
MTS Series 793 Tuning and Calibration Calibration Procedures 157
Range support Full-range conditioners (e.g. Model 493.25 DUCs) do not require individual
ranges.
Ranged conditioners (e.g. Model 493.21/21B DUCs and Model 497.22 DC
Conditioners) support up to four ranges for force sensor calibration. Force can be
calibrated to any range within the full-scale capacity of the sensor. Also, ranges
do not have to be centered on zero.
What you will need
You will need the following items to calibrate a a force sensor.
• A load standard can be a calibrated force sensor with its own electronics or
it can be a calibrated set of dead weights.
• A DVM to monitor the output of the load standard.
Note All calibration tools should be calibrated to an industry standard.
Note This calibration procedure calibrates the DC conditioner for a force
sensor of ±10 kN. You will need to adjust the procedure to accommodate
your force sensor.
