Sensor calculator

Enter the flexure dimensions, the gage position and the loads you intend to rate the sensor for. The engine returns strain on every channel, the strain profile along the beam, sensitivity, and the margin to yield at the beam root.

Frame, boundary beams and platform stand the full height f. The flexures are machined down to b from below, so every part shares one top plane — the dash-dot datum — and the gages bond to a continuous surface.

Both views are drawn to scale from the dimensions above and share one scale. A dimension whose extent gets too small to carry a line keeps its extension lines and moves the letter aside.
