High Rev Simulators manufactures high performance force sensor transducer strain gage switches using beryllium copper alloy shafts and silicon force sensor gages that perform just like the real military switches at economical pricing. A positive internally Installed tactile Down-Select Switch option is also available. Click on thumbnails to enlarge pictures
High Rev Simulator's Transducer Force Sensor Strain Gauge Switches (Target Designator Control TDC or Radar Cursor Control Switches) were designed by HRS and are manufactured to give exacting electronic signals plus the functionality and force feel of the real military silicon transducer strain gage slewing switch. These force sensitive copper beryllium shaft activated switches have 4 strain gauge force sensors. Each of these slew switches also includes the down select switch with the positive tactile detent selection being internal within the overall switch. All of HRS's force sensor strain gage switches are designed to convert mechanical force and motion into a electronic output signal. A change in capacitance, inductance, or resistance is proportional to the strain experienced by the sensor. This property makes them very useful in measuring extremely small amounts of force with accuracy and precision. HRS's strain gage switch shafts are custom machined 5 Axis made beryllium copper alloy shafts and have advantages over more conventional types of strain gages. These include homogeneity, increased sensitivity and decreased size. These semiconductor silicon strain gages are made from pulled boron doped bulk silicon. They have no P/N junction. The silicon is etched to shape and eliminates the potential for molecular dislocation or cracks, thereby optimizing performance. The small size of the strain gage sensors require a microscope to bond them to the beryllium copper alloy shaft using a high-performance two component epoxy-phenolic resin that is formulated specifically for bonding strain gages and temperature sensors. When properly cured, this two part adhesive is useful for temperatures ranging from deep cryogenic, -269° C (-452° F) (4° K) to 370° C (700° F) for short periods, and -269° C (-452° F) (4° K) to 260° C (500 °F) for long periods. Note that for transducer applications, the recommended temperature upper limit is 230° C (450° F). Strain gage sensitivity and product build is a strong suit of HRS. Using the same or more sensitive sensors and the right combination of resistance will increase or decrease the measurable electronic output. This HRS flexibility gives each customer the capability to have all the desired requirements needed for each product. HRS can custom manufacture high performance force sensor transducer strain gage switches that can even incorporate the use of the force sensor strain gage amplifier or non-amplified board and will operate using USB (5 VDC) and a variety of voltages from 5 VDC to 50 VDC to comply with customer requirements and special needs such as extra long wiring distances between the strain gage transducer force sensor unit and the circuit board. Their is no difference in operational feel of each HRS's transducer force strain gauge switch and the real flight hardware. Call HRS for any additional information and pricing: Other Products: |
