Press Release - New Pinch Force Sensor measures automatic window forces.
Lake Orion, MI –  Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS-118), specify maximum forces that can be developed by automatic window, door, and sunroof closing mechanisms under defined spring rates and displacements. 

Sensor Developments’ model 10293-450 Pinch Force Sensor, uses interchangeable spring packs and adjustable initial “gaps” to allow the checking of these power operated systems.

Performance features:

In operation, the sensor is “clipped” onto the window and the closer actuated. A companion instrument records the peak force developed to verify compliance to the specification. Standard capacities for the sensor are forces up to 200 Newtons, Spring rates from 2 to 65 N/mm, and displacements from 6 to 200 mm. Sensor may also be mated to more sophisticated instrumentation for development applications.

SDI a designer and manufacturer of force and torque sensors, systems, and associated data acquisition equipment.
