Ah I could have been more clear I see.. BrianE22 was right, 1 side of the force sensor is fixed to a rigid frame, the other side fixed to the plate on which the moment and force work.
The sensors are Force-Torque sensors.
For a project I'm using 2 6 DOF-sensors attached to the same plate. I'm using 2 sensors because the sensors can be loaded to a maximum torque of 20 Nm and my test need sensors that withstand 50 Nm.
I've attached a sketch of the setup. (the circles are the sensors, the plate will be loaded by a...
Thanks guys! I finally came up with a solution using a stub axle. By attaching different axles to this stub I can change the setup and in this way I don't need to get the axle out of the bearings.
First of all let me say I'm fairly new to designing bearing assemblies. So sorry for obvious mistakes I might have made. :)
For a testing rig for gears I'm designing a bearing assembly which is really stiff (to get reliable results from the gears the deformation of the frame should be minimal)...
