Force control in automation helps manufacturers manage contact forces in press-fitting, bonding, polishing, and handling. This article explains why position alone cannot confirm process quality, distinguishes force monitoring from closed-loop control, and outlines how force-displacement curves support assembly evaluation and traceability. It also covers sensor capacity, usable resolution, installation, and signal-chain considerations. Readers can assess where the FIBOS FA406 tension and compression load cell may fit, understand its 100 N to 20 kN capacity options, and identify the application details needed for selection.
Explore how torque sensors work and how to choose the right design for industrial torque measurement. This guide compares reaction torque sensors and rotary torque sensors, explains static and dynamic torque, and covers applications in motor testing, gearbox evaluation, and assembly tool verification. Learn key selection factors, including torque range, accuracy, rotational speed, bandwidth, mounting, and signal output. FIBOS product examples illustrate common interfaces, supported by practical guidance on installation, calibration, and overload protection.
