JR3 Sensors

JR3 sensors are available

• with Internal Electronics,
  
• for use with External Electronics ,or
  
• with Acceleration Compensation.

All types have many traits in common:

• JR3 sensors are capable of measuring the force on three orthogonal axes, and the moment (torque) about each axis, to completely define the loading at the sensor's location.

• JR3 produces standard and custom sensors with load capacities from 1 to 25,000 pounds force and 3 to 250,000 inch-pounds moment. Sensor size ranges in diameter from 2 to 13 inches and in thickness from 1 to 6 inches. For more details on standard sensors, see the Sensor Specific Information page.

• JR3 sensors use a unique design where the bottom of the sensor has captive bolts which allow direct connection to the user's tool flange. The top of the transducer contains a copy of the tool flange. This feature eliminates the need for adapter plates, which saves weight and lowers the installed height.

• A wide variety of standard and custom bolt patterns are available for all sizes of sensor. Contact JR3 for information regarding your specific needs.

• JR3 sensors are extremely stiff, resulting in minimal degradation of system dynamics and positioning accuracy. The high stiffness also results in a higher resonant frequency than obtained with more compliant sensors.
