IMADA CO., LTD. Force-displacement measuring system FSA series
Force-Displacement Measurement Unit FSA series
A measurement unit to draw force-displacement curves Ideal for sensation test or material characteristic evaluation High sampling rate and high data reproducibility
The FSA series is a unit for forcedisplacement measurement including force gauge, test stand, cable and software.
This unit is easy-handling owing to its compact size (desktop-type), enabling you to simply measure mechanical properties such as tension, compression and peeling force. Also, its high responsivity (2000Hz) offers precise measurement results with a smooth graph of force-displacement. Graphing is easily done by connecting FSA series and PC via attached USB cable. The graphing software equips useful functions for evaluation or analysis such as overlaying graphs for comparing, displaying statistical data, and leaving comments in a graph.
It handles a wide range of measurement by using various optional attachments. Since the force gauge is removable, the range of measurement is expanded, and maintenance gets easier.
Features Precise Measurement - High sampling rate (2000Hz) accurately follows force changes and draws smooth graph of force-
displacement curves in real time. Outputs reports simply - Equips functions to overlay up to 5 graphs and leave comments in the graph. - Easily outputs the graphs and statical data to WORD, EXCEL, PDF, etc. A wide range of measurements - It handles a wide range of measurements by combining various optional attachments

[Available data by FSA series]
Force value when the specified displacement is compressed/pulled (Displacement when compressed/pulled with the specified force value)
4.81(N 20.00(mm)

This unit is suitable for characteristic evaluation of such as cushioning-materials or press-fitted parts by compression test since it allows drawing a force-displacement graph and evaluating transition of the force value to the compressed displacement. Also, as you see in the picture above, it enables you to easily search for the force value at a specific displacement value on the graph and leave a comment.
Displacement value when a sample is broken by compressing/pulling
67.4(N 66.606(mm) Displacement when broken.

The force rapidly rises against the
displacement.

The force slowly rises against the
displacement.

This unit graphs the process and enables you to visually check the force transition until the sample is broken. Also, it helps you to easily find the force/displacement value and peak value when the sample is broken, and leave a comment.
Hysteresis and returning zero

[ON] Point

[OFF] Point

For example, in click sensation test of tactile switch, hysteresis and returning zero is obvious from the graph of a reciprocating motion. It is simple to evaluate the graph by setting threshold value, searching for returning peak values and inserting an arbitrary border line. Moreover, the point of switch ON/OFF can be automatically defined and displayed by using Mark On function. Note: Custom-made cable is required for Mark-On function.

4. Software (*3)

Connect the force gauge and a PC by USB cable (included),

drawing force-displacement graphs. Only for use on PC.

(Model: Force Recorder Professional)

Included Attachments (*4) Standard attachments are included for basic compression and pull tests.

(Examples of included attachments)
*1 FSA-MSL is not motorized due to manual type. *2 FSA-MSL does not include the cable due to manual type. *3 Monitor (PC) is not included. *4 The included attachments are different depending on the range of force gauge. Refer to the specification sheet of standard

*1 Stroke means movable capacity. Stroke range varies depending on the force gauge and the attachments combined. Long

Stroke option is available. Refer to [option of extended stroke] of the above table for details.

*2 [Max. sample height] means the distance between table and the tip of the measuring shaft of the force gauge (1000N or

less) when the head is at the top without any attachments. The values of FSA-2.5K2/FSA-5K2 are when over 2500N

models of ZTA series are attached. The value of FSA-0.5HK2 is the distance between the tip of the fixed axle of the table

and the tip of the measuring shaft of force gauge (1000N or less). The value of FSA-2.5HK2 is when high capacity model

of force gauge (2500N or more) is attached.

*3 Refer to the individual specification for the details of the motorized test stands.

*4 When change the speed and stroke, the capacity may decrease. Contact us for the details.

*5 For FSA-5K2, it raises and extends the post of the stand. The Max. Sample height is extended but the stroke does not

change. Not suitable for measurement of small sample.

*6 [Option of output] means the function allows to interface with external devices such as interlocking shield.
