Force Sensor (STE 20078)

Conduct a wide range of physical science and physics activities with accurate data collected with this force sensor. Use it for studies of friction, simple harmonic motion, collision studies, weight determination with a spring scale, buoyancy, the usefulness of levers and pulleys, and more. The force sensor can be easily mounted in a variety of experimental configurations using metal support rods that screw into the sensor head. Rods available separately. Range: ±50 N. Accuracy: ±1%. Resolution: 0.02 N. Sample Rate: max 1,000 samples/second. Sensor comes with three AA batteries, quick reference guide, a USB drive for collecting data, rubber bumper attachment, and metal hook attachment. Replacement hook and bumper also available separately in the Force Accessory Pack.

Force Accessory PackThe Force Sensor Accessory Pack includes an additional bumper and hook that are designed to individually connect directly to the force sensor. The hook accessory is useful for connecting to a string and measuring pulling forces; the bumper is helpful for measuring collision forces or pushing forces.

Support RodThe Metal Support Rod accessory with one threaded end may be connected to any sensor in order to place them in a variety of experimental configurations. Recommended for use with the force sensor.
