It is not too unusual to use the torsion in a rotating shaft as a load indicator. Sensors at both ends aligned at zero force. The app I saw was using this  on the turbine shaft for a 125 Mw generator. Just a comment. ;-) On 9/18/19 5:30 PM, Chris Albertson wrote: One way to measure force is

I appreciate the help and information. One last question before I go out and try this. I found a servo motor with a serial encoder. What interface board should I use to read that if I were using an 8i20 to power the servo? On Thu, Sep 19, 2019 at 9:06 AM Les Newell wrote: > If you are trying

If you are trying to counterbalance a pure weight this system would inevitably end up accelerating into it's travel limits. However if the load has some sort of spring component it should be stable. For instance if you are trying to counterbalance a load so the force feedback is providing most

I don't think closing the loop with force feedback would work, If the motor is applying x amount of force, adding more weight isn't going to change the amount of force read by the force feedback device. It will just push it down. The feedback will only be reading the force applied by the

What will be the total travel of this ballscrew? Is it static or does it travel as well? On Thu, 19 Sep 2019 at 01:39, Curtis Dutton wrote: > my experiment is to use a force measuring device to proportionally control > torque output on a servo attached to a ball screw. > > as a thought
