NK BIOTECHNICAL CORPORATION
NK MULTI-COMPONENT CALIBRATOR
U.S. Patent No.5,020,357
This accurate, compact, portable calibrator utilizes pneumatic
cylinders to generate all forces and moments except rolling moment,
which is applied using NIST traceable weights.
| Loading Capacities |
| Normal and Side Forces |
1,000 Lbs |
| Axial Force |
200 Lbs |
| Pitch and Yaw Moment |
2,400 In-Lbs |
| Roll Moment |
200 In-Lbs |
Combined loads may be applied to measure interactions ("crosstalk").
Available load combinations are:
- Pitch/Axial
- Yaw/Axial
- Roll/Pitch
- Roll/Yaw
- Roll/Axial
- Axial/Pitch
- Axial/Yaw
- Pitch/Roll
- Yaw/Roll
- Axial/Roll
Force levels are measured by NIST traceable single component load
cells in line with the pneumatic cylinders.
The control panel is self-contained and micro-processor based.
Outputs are displayed on a CRT. An interface is available for
connection to an industry-standard PC for automated data acquisition
and reduction. |
