The point of origin of the multicomponent sensor coordinates is the geometric center of
the sensor (see Fig. 6.6). When preparing the test certificate, the forces (without
moments) and the moments (without forces) are applied on the measuring side and
measured at the point of origin. This is achieved using an appropriately designed load
application adapter. This way, a lateral force does not generate a bending moment, for
example.
Point of origin
Fig. 6.6 Sensor point of origin
The forces and moments should be applied as near to the sensor as possible. If the force
is applied far away from the sensor, the bending moment increases and can affect the
measurement results of the other components. If the forces are applied in the application
in such a way that they do not go through the point of origin, the moments that are then
generated (force times lever arm) must be observed (see Fig. 6.7).
