Why use HBK custom sensors for multiaxis measurements?

Comprehensive measurement – Strain gauge-based multi-axis sensors capture Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz with high fidelity
Engineering excellence – OEM team ensures compact and application-specific integration
Reliable accuracy – Low drift, minimised cross-talk, stable calibration
OEM expertise – Proven in motion control, haptic

Multiaxis custom sensor – application example

Medical robots – Multi-DOF sensing for surgical precision and haptic feedback
Robotics and cobots – 6-axis force-torque sensors for assembly, pick and place, and quality control
Aerospace and off-highway – Multiaxis load sensing in testing and heavy-duty systems

6-DOF Torque and Force Measurement

HBK’s custom 6-DOF torque/force sensors are engineered for complex OEM applications. They ensure reliable performance even in demanding environments.

Multi-axis precision – Crosstalk reduced to <1% between axes, guaranteeing signal integrity.
Rugged design – Operating range from –20°C to +100°C, with IP65 protection for harsh environments.
Compact and integrable – Optimised for constrained spaces, with a wide power supply range (5 – 30 VDC) for easy OEM system integration

This makes HBK 6-DOF multiaxis sensors the ideal choice for robotics, medical robotics, logistic, and off-highway applications where space, precision, and durability are critical.
