... damage to the exciter, and ultimately lead to equipment failure. Therefore, accurate detection and characterization of polarization phenomena in vibrating screens are of great importance. Design/methodology/approach A column-type three-dimensional force sensor was developed to detect polarization...

...%, the maximum nonlinear error is 5.36%, the maximum coupling interference is 4.73% and the minimum sensitivity is 1.58 pm/N. Originality/value A three-dimensional force sensor based on FBG adopts a particular separation elastic structure. The sensor can reduce the coupling influence between several axes...

... of this paper is to reduce the assembly stress of large gear components by an active compliant docking technology based on distributed force sensors. Design/methodology/approach Firstly, aiming at the noise interference in three-dimensional force sensor (TDFS), Kalman filter and Savitzky–Golay filter...
