3. General Device Description
3.1 What is a Multicomponent Dynamometer Used for?
The multicomponent dynamometer is used for dynamic
and quasistatic measurement of the 3 orthogonal
components of any force acting on the cover plate (F
x
, F
y
and F
z
).
The dynamometer is extremely rigid and therefore has a
high natural frequency. The high resolution allows the
smallest dynamic changes of large forces to be measured.
The dynamometer measures the active force, irrespective
of its application point. Both the average force value and
the dynamic increase in force can be measured. The useful
frequency range mainly depends on the natural frequency
of the entire measurement setup.

The most important areas of application for the
multicomponent dynamometer are:
General 3-component force measurement of small
forces
Force measurement in confined spaces
Cutting force measurement in precision machining,
such as:
precision machining
micromachining
ultra-high precision machining of brittle, hard
materials
