The purchase of two Annular Force/Torque Sensors is required�to test parachute lines in the wind tunnel. The sensors need to be strong and accurate because�tension in the line can be high while the sensor measures small side forces. These devices are crutial for the Department of Aeronautics to gather data to support research projects. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The necessary salient characteristics for Two Annular Force/Torque Sensors are listed below: - 6 Axis. -�19.6 mm-diameter hole in the middle the force/torque sensor that allow the parachute line we are testing to pass through it, and the hole needs to be this size or bigger. -�8-lb range for forces. - 4-in-lbs range for torque. - Thin design, 15 mm or below that allows us to mount the sensor outside the wind tunnel and avoid flow interference.� - Sensor also must mount annularly. - Power supply for Sensors. - Data acquisition linkages needed to connect the sensor to data acquisition computers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Include in your capabilities package/email your UEI/Cage Code, and System for Award Management expiration date, and any related specifications/drawings.
