Bokam's award winning force measurement product line consists of a solid stainless steel sensor with an elaborate miniature network of conductive steel
imbedded strain-sensitive materials arranged in a Whetstone Bridge architecture in one, two or three axis. Unlike conventional strain gauge based designs these products are based on Bokam's proprietary technology
that allows us to imbed the strain sensitive materials onto the steel surface without the use of organic materials such as epoxies or the like. The construction of the sensor is such that it is by its design
sealed from the environments and the only surface that comes in contact with the outside world is the stainless steel surface.
The strain-sensitive materials on the back
of the sensor are capable of detecting even microscopic strain in the sensor base, and resolve the applied force into distinct multiple outputs proportional to the X, Y and Z component of the force vector.
The elastic nature of the steel surface and the absence of a bond or glue line between the strain-sensitive materials and stainless steel surface yield a virtually
indestructible device that does not require re-calibration for the life of the OEM system after initial installation.
