Model No. CI-6537 Force Sensor

Appendix A: Specifications

Force Sensor:

Output voltage +8 V for +50 newtons (pushing)

+ 8 V for -50 newtons (pulling)

Output noise +/- 2 millivolts

Slew Rate 25 newtons/millisecond

Range* +/- 50 newtons

Resolution** 0.0305 newtons (or 3.1 grams)

Bandwidth limit 2 kilohertz (internal low pass filter)

Output drive 8 meters of cable without instability

* The range of the sensor is +/- 50 newtons with an output

between -8 to +8 volts, or 160 millivolts per newton.

** The resolution of the sensor refers to the smallest change

in force that the sensor can measure. For example, an

interface with a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter and an

input range of +/- 10 volts gives a resolution of 0.0305

newtons (or 3.1 grams).
