A Brief Analysis of the Calibration Process for Load Cells 2

II. Calibration Steps

1. Preliminary Inspection: Conduct a visual examination of the tension sensor and connecting wires to identify and eliminate physical damage or poor contact issues.diode

2. Installation Setup: Mount the tension sensor onto the test bench or calibration device, ensuring it is aligned with the force action line.diode

3. Zero Calibration: Perform zero calibration under no-load conditions to ensure the tension sensor output is zero.

4. Loading: Apply a predetermined force to the ASP-134488-01 sensor using a standard dynamometer or a weight with known mass, typically including multiple points of the sensor's full range (e.g., 10%, 20%, 50%, 80%, 100%, etc.).

5. Reading Record: Record the output value of the tension sensor at each load point.diode

3. Data Processing

1. Linearity Check: Analyze the relationship between the sensor output and the actual load to verify its linearity.

2. Sensitivity Calculation: Calculate the sensitivity of the sensor by applying a known force and measuring the corresponding output value.diode

3. Error Analysis: Calculate the error between the actual value and the theoretical value to determine whether it falls within the allowable rangediode
