Description

Michigan Scientific’s TR6D-C-* Six Axis Load Cells are designed for applications that require both force and moment measurements. These rugged transducers are ideally suited for both field data acquisition and laboratory testing. The transducers have identical top and bottom mounting surfaces and bolt patterns, and can be easily adapted to a variety of applications.

The TR6D-C-20K model is made of titanium material and the TR6D-C-16K and TR6D-C-40K models are made of high grade stainless steel material. The load cell material, in addition to weatherproof sealing, provide excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental conditions. Temperature compensation of the transducers ensures stable output throughout a wide temperature range.

Calibration

We have spent years perfecting our unique, patented transducer calibration machine, the TCAT. A calibration compares the electrical output of a transducer to the applied loads. The TCAT can calibrate all MSC multi-axis load cells, Wheel Force Transducers, and Wheel Torque Transducers. The TCAT applies loads with linear actuators and measures the load through the transducer via reaction links. It applies three forces and three moments and calibrates through each transducer’s unique electronics package. In addition to the TCAT, MSC has a large calibration that uses hydraulic arms to apply forces and moments; up to 100,000 lbs.

The Michigan Scientific transducer calibration process complies with ISO9001:2015 and ISO17025:2017 requirements and all reference measurement equipment is traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is recommended that customers send in their transducers after one year of use, and then every two years after that. This is an easy way to ensure that the transducer is functioning properly and has not incurred any damage during use.

With the development of the patented transducer calibration machine, calibration time has significantly decreased, allowing for a faster turnaround and return to customer. There are multiple locations throughout the globe to get a Michigan Scientific transducer calibrated. The calibration process is now also automated, which allows our highly skilled technicians to focus on transducer design and manufacturing improvements.
