Bokam's award winning force measurement product line consists of a solid stainless steel sensor body/diaphragm and an elaborate miniature network of conductive steel imbedded strain sensitive materials arranged in a full bridge architecture with each axis having its own bridge network. Unlike conventional strain gauge based designs these products are based on Bokam's proprietary technology that allows us to embed the strain sensitive materials onto the steel surface without the use of organic materials such as epoxies. The construction of the sensors is such that it is by its design sealed from the environments and the only surface that comes in contact with the outside works is the stainless steel surface itself.

The strain sensitive material on the back of the sensors is capable of detecting micro strains in the material surface and resolve the applied force into distinct multiple outputs proportional to the X, Y and Z component of the force vectors.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 installationSeveral standard and custom versions are available. Contact the factory for size, interface information, and various force range options.Even though the sensing elements are stiff and do not contribute any deflection to the OEM system, a spring element can be added to the sensors to convert motion or position information into a force measurement. In this way systems that have slight movement can still be measured and instrumented.
