Hello again after a short break.
I have been asked if it is possible to measure the amount of clamping force between two faces. Currently we assemble using a 10kg load to apply force to the two components to ensure an effective heat transfer path. We would like to move away from this, and need to work out what the clamping force is on the components using our prototype fixture, spring loaded clamps.
I would like my fellow Covers for some input please:
How do I measure the force between the faces when a clamp is applied (as opposed to a weight).
Picture to follow soon...
Thanks in anticipation
Paul
