Abstract
This paper presents a structural design for elastic beam of six-axis force/torque sensor which improves both static and dynamic performance of the sensor. Firstly, an elastic body structure of six-axis force/torque sensor is proposed based on structures of H-beam and cross-beam sensors. Secondly, both static and dynamic analyses of the elastomer structure have been studied by performing finite element analysis (FEA). Finally, the static and dynamic performances of the developed structure are compared to those of typical cross-beam structures which commonly used in commercial six-axis force/torque sensors. The results show that the proposed elastomer structure provides better sensitivity and natural frequency of the sensor than conventional sensor based on cross-beam.
