Dual or Multiple Measuring Bridges Some customers, particularly in the aerospace industry, require a second or third measuring bridges within the force transducer due to higher safety and/or redundancy requirements. These additional measuring bridges are applied to the same measuring spring, optionally on adjacent struts. This allows the customer to utilize two independent measuring amplifiers. For example, DC or carrier frequency measuring amplifiers can be used to further enhance safety. A measuring bridge for monitoring bending moments can also be inserted here in a slightly modified form More info required ? email info@interfaceforce.de

🛡️ Engineering the Precision Kill Chain: Missile Seeker Gimbal Design The missile seeker gimbal is arguably the most critical and complex electromechanical subsystem in a guided munition. It serves as the eyes and hands of the weapon, isolating the sensor's line-of-sight (LOS) from the missile's violent, high-G body rates, and actively tracking the target to feed the guidance computer. Designing this defense-grade mechanism demands a deep, cross-disciplinary fusion of dynamics, control theory, and rugged electronics. Gimbal Mechanics and Dynamics: The Stabilization Mandate The primary mechanical mandate is Inertial Stabilization, decoupling the seeker head from the missile's 6-Degrees-of-Freedom (6DOF) motion. Axis Configuration: Most tactical seekers utilize Two-Axis Gimbals (Azimuth/Elevation or Pitch/Yaw). Advanced designs may use singularity-free kinematics (like spherical or swiveling yoke designs) to avoid gimbal lock when the LOS points along the missile's body axis (zenith problem), especially critical during terminal maneuvers. Torque Generation: High-performance systems rely on Brushless DC Torque Motors (often frameless/sectioned) to provide high acceleration and instantaneous torque. These motors are directly coupled, eliminating backlash and maximizing stiffness. Balancing: Precision static and dynamic balancing of the gimbal assembly is non-negotiable. Any center of gravity (CG) offset or product of inertia mismatch creates unwanted disturbance torques under high-G acceleration, demanding extreme motor power and degrading tracking accuracy. Specialized balancing machines are used to achieve tolerances as small as 0.1 \text{ gram-centimeter}. Defense-Grade Inertial and Electronic Components The system's fidelity is defined by its sensor feedback and electronic components, which must survive mathbf{MIL-STD-810} (vibration, shock) and mathbf{MIL-STD-461} (EMI/EMC). #MissileSeeker #GimbalControl #DefenseTech #InertialNavigation #FOC #HighGDesign #EmbeddedSystems #ControlSystems
