Force and Load Measurement Systems
Tekscan’s ELF™ (Economical Load and Force) System is a complete force measurement device, featuring thin, flexible FlexiForce™ sensors, advanced data acquisition electronics, and user-friendly software. The ELF System is available in both tethered and wireless versions, offering options such as adjustable gain, easy calibration storage, and multi-point force measurement capabilities.
The ELF System is ideal for test engineers or QA/QC professionals looking for a quick, straightforward, and cost-effective method to measure force in test and measurement applications.
FlexiForce™ sensors and complete measurement systems from Tekscan are used to measure, analyze, and verify products and applications across various industries, including medical, design services, electronic components, manufacturing, and academia. The FlexiForce sensor’s thin, flexible, and accurate design makes it an excellent, user-friendly tool for engineers, researchers, and scholars needing precise force feedback data.
Tekscan ELF Systems
- The ELF™ system consists of USB-based data acquisition hardware, software (also available in high speed, measuring up to 6,000 Hz), and three FlexiForce B201 sensors.
- Patented electronics allow you to optimize the performance of the ELF system over a selected force/load range. The electronics adjust the device sensitivity to best fit the dynamic range of the specific application.
- Simple calibration procedures can deliver accuracies of ± 5%. More controlled procedures can reach an accuracy level of ± 3%.
- The WELF 2 system consists of a battery-operated WiFi transmitter (certified 802.11b radio- 802.11b/g/n compatible), Windows-compatible software*, and three FlexiForce WB201 sensors.
- The WiFi connection setup has ad hoc and access point (unsecured router) network capability.
- Sampling rates up to 200 Hz (high speed software samples up to 6,000 Hz).
* Compatible with Windows 7, 8.1, and 10
Robust, Turnkey Force Measurement
The FlexiForce™ sensor operates as a force-sensing resistor within an electrical circuit. When no force is applied, the sensor exhibits a high resistance, which decreases as force is applied (as illustrated in the blue Force vs. Resistance curve).
The ELF™ and Wireless ELF™ Systems, featuring a patented data acquisition interface and intuitive analysis software, provide a comprehensive, turnkey solution for measuring force using FlexiForce™ sensors.
