04 / HIGH CAPACITY / HXF-LRG

Large 6-Component Force Transducers

Specify a large six axis transducer around the complete test fixture. Reaction loads, moment arms, sealing and calibration uncertainty matter alongside rated capacity.

SIX CHANNELS / SPECIFY TOGETHER

HXF-LRG force, moment & installation envelope

These owner-requested family targets support an engineering discussion. They are not simultaneous ratings for a released model. Weight, resolution and combined-load boundaries require a selected configuration.

CHOOSE A MODEL TARGET / 3 REVIEW PATHS

Select geometry and six-channel requirements by model

Numeric entries below are requested design or reference-matching targets. They are not released HXF ratings. Engineering confirms the drawing, mass, simultaneous-load limits and selected interface before ordering.

HXF-LRG160 — 160 mm test-rig target

Wind-tunnel fixtures and high-stiffness test assemblies.

  • Select all force and moment ranges independently.
  • State fixture tare, load origin and calibration requirements.

Original-reference names for review: ATI Omega160. Mounting, electrical and software interchange are not yet approved.

HXF-LRG200-SUB — 200 mm subsea test target

ROV thrust and submerged six-component tests.

  • Provide immersion depth, duration, fluid and pressure cycles.
  • Match the sealed connector, cable and fixture load path.

Original-reference names for review: ATI Omega190 / Omega191; ME-Meßsysteme K6D175. Mounting, electrical and software interchange are not yet approved.

HXF-LRG300 — 300 mm high-capacity target

Large test fixtures and suspension-load measurement.

  • Provide the original installation drawing and six-component load history.
  • Review adapter stiffness and combined-force/moment limits.

Original-reference names for review: ATI Omega250 / Omega331; Interface 6A. Mounting, electrical and software interchange are not yet approved.

RESOLUTION

Noise at your bandwidth

Request Fx/Fy/Fz resolution in N and Mx/My/Mz in Nm at a stated filter setting and sample rate. No measured HXF noise report is published here.

CROSSTALK

Residuals under combined load

Review six-axis calibration residuals and temperature drift. A requested <1% target needs a defined denominator and acceptance test.

OVERLOAD

Axis limits are not additive

Request a combined-load diagram, installation torque and shock limits. A 300–500% design target is not a universal working-load rating.

APPLICATION & FLANGE REVIEW

Confirm the complete HXF-LRG load path

Wind tunnel balances, suspension test rigs and underwater ROV thrust testing.

01

Subtract fixture tare and transform loads to the stated reference origin.

02

Subsea sealing requires depth, pressure, fluid, connector and immersion-duration specifications.

03

Load adapters and the calibration rig must cover the actual six-component working envelope.

INTEGRATE THE DATA, NOT JUST THE DISC

One six-component measurement chain

Choose the host interface, timestamps, axis convention and filtering with the sensor. Request the configuration-matched ESI or protocol document, tested software and commissioning checklist.

ENGINEERING REQUEST / HXF-LRG

Configure the sensor and robot mounting kit

Engineering request and contact details
Documents to include in the engineering response

Drawings, calibration evidence and software releases are configuration-specific. Requesting a file does not imply a public download or an approved interchange.

Optional mounting, cable & sealing review

Budget amounts are per quoted configuration. Quantity, flange set contents, cable connector and subsea depth/duration will be confirmed before ordering.

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY

Six-channel selection questions

Does each family cover every listed range at every size?

No. Values are design targets across a family. The selected configuration needs its own six-channel range, mass, dimensional drawing, output option and calibration record.

Can I replace an ATI, Bota or OnRobot sensor directly?

Send the original part number, drawing and firmware/protocol details. Matching outer diameter alone does not establish bolt-pattern, connector, axis-sign or software compatibility.

How do I specify resolution and crosstalk?

State your minimum detectable force and moment, bandwidth and temperature range. Request per-channel noise, resolution and combined-load residuals at those settings; output bit depth alone is insufficient.

Are the shown diagrams product photographs?

They are original conceptual engineering illustrations. They do not establish a supplied model, hole pattern, physical test result or manufacturing certification.

DEFINE THE COMPLETE LOAD CASE

Send the force. Add the moment arm.

Include your six-channel loads, robot model, space envelope and preferred interface. Request a configuration-specific quotation and STEP drawing.
