Where to find highly sensitive (> 100 mV/N) force transducers
Where to find highly sensitive (> 100 mV/N) force transducers
(OP)
I need a highly sensitive (> 100 mV/N) force transducer. Who except Bruel & Kjaer makes these? Thanks in advance!

Greg Locock:
The most sensitive Bruel & Kjaer force transducer has a sensitivity of 110 mV/N, which may be a little on the low side (we will try it, but I doubt the sensitivity is enough).

0.3N is not an especially small dynamic force.

You are correct that 0.3 N is not a particularly small force. However, this corresponds to a constant force (the DC-component sent into the shaker). The vibration force (corresponding to the AC-component sent into the shaker), on the other hand, will be very small. I would like to find a force transducer which has a big enough dynamic range to measure both of these two components accurately.
