3. General Device Description

3.1 What is a Multicomponent Dynamometer Used for?

The multicomponent dynamometer is used for dynamic

and quasistatic measurement of the 3 orthogonal

components of any force acting on the cover plate (Fx, Fy

and Fz).

The dynamometer is extremely rigid and therefore has a

high natural frequency. The high resolution allows the

smallest dynamic changes of large forces to be measured.

The dynamometer measures the active force, irrespective

of its application point. Both the average force value and

the dynamic increase in force can be measured. The useful

frequency range mainly depends on the natural frequency

of the entire measurement setup.

Fig. 1: MiniDyn Type 9119AA1

The most important areas of application for the

multicomponent dynamometer are:

 General 3-component force measurement of small

forces

 Force measurement in confined spaces

 Cutting force measurement in precision machining,

such as:

 precision machining

 micromachining

 ultra-high precision machining of brittle, hard

materials

General Device Description

9119AA1_002-622e-02.15 Page 9

3.2 Functional Principle

The force to be measured is applied via a cover plate and

distributed to four, 3-component force sensors arranged

between the cover plate and the two base plates.

Each force sensor contains three quartz crystal plate pairs,

of which one is sensitive to pressure in the z direction and

the other two are sensitive to shear in the x and

y directions. There is practically no deflection during

measurement.

In these four force sensors, the applied force is split into

three components.

Fig. 2: Force sensor setup in the multicomponent

dynamometer: quartz crystal plate pairs for the 3

measuring directions

For force measurement with 3 components, the individual

signals are brought together in the connecting cable.

Positive or negative charges are produced at the

connections, depending on the direction of the force.

Negative charges produce positive voltages at the charge

amplifier output, and vice versa.

Page 10 9119AA1_002-622e-02.15

3.3 Dynamometer Construction

The dynamometer consists of four 3-component force

sensors, mounted under high preload between two base

plates and one cover plate.

This preload is the requirement for friction force

transmission.

The four force sensors are installed ground-isolated. This

largely eliminates ground loop problems.

The dynamometer is rustproof and protected against the

ingress of splash water and cooling agent. Together with

the (Type 1687B5 or Type 1677A5) connecting cable, the

dynamometer meets the requirements of degree of

protection IP67.

As a result of the specific sensor location and signal

connection, the dynamometer is largely insensitive to

temperature shifts.

4. Mounting, Installation and Initial Startup

4.1 Important Information

The Type 9119AA1 multicomponent dynamometer is a

precision instrument, with inherent accuracy that will only

remain useful and intact if the device is carefully handled. It

is therefore important to observe the following instructions:

 Do not drop the dynamometer and do not subject it to

sharp blows! The maximum force of this type of shock

could exceed the device measuring range and cause

lasting deformation

 Do not use a hammer to position the workpieces, as

striking the workpieces will also cause deformation

The chapters that follow contain information about

dynamometer installation.

Page 12 9119AA1_002-622e-02.15

4.2 Mounting the Dynamometer

To mount the dynamometer properly, please note the

following:

 The dynamometer must only be installed by persons

who are familiar with the device and who are suitably

qualified for this work

 The connecting cable is first connected to the

dynamometer. Both sides of the connector (the

dynamometer and the cable) are cleaned with Type

1003 cleaning and insulating spray. The enclosed O-

ring is used for sealing. The bearing surfaces for the O-

ring must be clean. The O-ring is inserted and the cable

flange screwed to the dynamometer with two screws,

and tightened until seated

 Tightening torque (M

A

): 4.5 N·m

 Before mounting the dynamometer on a machine tool

or a testing device, check that the mounting surface is

flat. Uneven bearing surfaces cause inner distortion,

which additionally exposes the individual force sensors

to high shear loads and can increase crosstalk

The bottom surface of the dynamometer is ground, i.e.

precision machined. The device must therefore only be

installed on mounting surfaces that are ground or

machined to the same standard. The specific alignment of

the force sensors requires the quality of the mounting

surface to be meticulously monitored. Thoroughly clean

the bearing surfaces before assembly.

 Make sure that the dynamometer is resting completely

flat. Even the tiniest air gap can produce unwanted

elasticity and lead to a reduction in the resonance

frequency of the measuring arrangement. Please

therefore pay attention to the oscillation aspects of the

assemblies as well

 If possible, the connecting cable should always stay

connected to the dynamometer

 Install the connecting cable so that it can neither shear

off nor be pulled out when working

 The two long sides of the base plates or the long sides

of the cover plate are used to align the dynamometer

on a magnetic plate or a machine table

Page 14 9119AA1_002-622e-02.15

The dynamometer can be mounted in two different ways.

a. With 8 M4x25 screws

For this type of mounting, 8 M4 threaded bores

(minimum thread length: 12 mm) are required on the

assembly table. The tightening torque is always 4.3

N·m, the strength class 12.9.

b. On a magnetic plate

If a magnetic plate is used, there is no need to

subsequently provide the assembly table with

mounting bores.

Beware!

With this type of mounting, the process forces must not be

greater than the magnetic forces. It is essential to stop the

dynamometer slipping in order to prevent damage to the

measuring instrument.

4.3 Basic Connection and Cabling of the Measuring System

Charge amplifiers convert the electric charges output by

the dynamometer (picocoulomb = pC) into proportional

voltages that can be displayed, recorded or processed with

the usual instruments.

Please note the following information when cabling the

measuring system

 The connecting cables from the dynamometer to the

charge amplifier must have good insulation and be low

triboelectricity. Only the specified connecting cables

must be used.

 Conventional cables can be used for the connection

between the charge amplifier and the indicators or

evaluation devices.

 All work on electrical connections must be carried out

carefully and tidily. Only remove the caps covering the

connections immediately before connecting a cable.

 Please refer to the two chapters below for the cabling

information for specific configurations.

4.4 Dynamometer Positioning

 The dynamometer and the cables must be posi-tioned

so that coolants can drain completely. This stops

aggressive bacteria forming in old coolant, which could

then damage the dynamometer and the cables.

Depressions and creases should therefore be avoided

 Install the connecting cable so that it can neither shear

off nor be pulled out when working

4.5 Basic Connection and Cabling of the Measuring System

Charge amplifiers convert the electric charges yielded by

the dynamometer (pC) into proportional voltages that can

be displayed, recorded or processed with the usual

instruments.

Please note the following information when cabling the

measuring system

 The connecting cables from the dynamometer to the

charge amplifier must have good insulation and be poor

in frictional electricity. Only the specified connecting

cables must be used

 Conventional cables can be used for the connection

between the charge amplifiers and the indicators or

evaluation devices

 All work on electrical connections must be carried out

carefully and tidily. Only remove the caps covering the

connections immediately before connecting a cable
