ATI Industrial Automation (USA, a Novanta company) leads the world in 6-axis force/torque sensing. The Nano17 is the smallest commercial 6-axis transducer available: 17 mm diameter, 14.5 mm height and just 9.07 g including interface plates; silicon strain gages deliver 75x the signal of foil gages with resolution down to 1/320 N (~0.32 gf); SI calibrations SI-12/25/50 span 12-50 N (Fxy), 17-70 N (Fz) and 120-500 N-mm torque; single-axis overload of +/-250 N (Fxy) and +/-480 N (Fz), 3.1-13.8x rated; 7200 Hz resonant frequency; IP65 and IP68 (10 m) versions; NIST-traceable calibration under ISO 9001. Used in robotic surgery, dexterous-hand and finger-force research and dental research.
