Complete insight in six degrees – Multiaxis force and torque sensors built for real-world complexity

Why HBK Custom Sensors for Multiaxis measurement?

  • 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, minimized cross-talk, stable calibration.
  • OEM expertise – Proven in motion control, haptic

Customised your Multiaxis Sensors (6-DoF)

Mechanical design

  • Compact multi-axis geometry for simultaneous force and torque measurement  
  • Lightweight yet stiff structure to minimise deformation under combined loads  
  • Choice of high-grade stainless steel or aerospace aluminium  
  • Designed for seamless integration in grippers, wrists, or robotic joints  

 

Sensing and electronics

  • Six-axis strain-gauge matrix or hybrid transducer architecture  
  • Integrated amplifier and signal processing electronics
  • Optional digital output (EtherCAT, CANopen, Ethernet/IP)  
  • Cross-axis decoupling and factory calibration matrix  

 

Performance characteristics

  • Custom full-scale ranges for all six channels (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)  
  • Low crosstalk (<1%) and sub-millisecond response  
  • Excellent linearity and hysteresis across all load axes  
  • Robust performance over millions of cycles  

 

Environmental and reliability options

  • Configurable temperature range, IP protection, and sealing
  • Robust cabling and connector layout for constrained robotic designs  
  • Shock, vibration, and endurance testing as per customer specification  

 

Integration and validation

  • Mechanical and electrical interface defined per robot or gripper geometry
  • CAD and simulation support for integration
  • In-situ validation and customer-specific acceptance testing

6-DOF Torque & 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 & integrable – Optimized 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.

 

Multiaxis  custom Sensor - Applications Example

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