Reliability and Functional Testing
A great deal of aerospace ground testing involves exposing systems to realistic loading and operating conditions “on the bench”. PCB’s line of cost-effective fatigue and non-fatigue rated load cells and torque sensors are widely integrated into bench tests that measure operating loads and torques in aerospace systems. These sensors include reaction and rotating torque sensors with their associated signal conditioners. Among PCB's family of torque sensors, the Torkdisc® enables high bandwidth torque measurements in space constrained environments.
As mentioned above, PCB’s ability to supply both piezoelectric and strain gage-based load cells allows us to uniquely address complex loading situations that involve combinations of high static plus dynamic forces and torques. For instance, integrating dynamic and static force/torque sensors provides our development engineering customers the ability to measure static loads related to an actuation system’s primary function simultaneous with high frequency or fleeting dynamic pressure or force transients that cannot be accurately characterized by strain gage-based sensors.
PCB’s family of load and torque sensors is complemented by our complete family of AC and DC response accelerometers, as well as our line of dynamic and static pressure sensors. In some cases, even PCB's complete line of precision microphones are enlisted, to sense the condition of systems under test, or to measure the acoustic environment of the airborne systems.
