Cobra SMARTsense Force & Acceleration - Sensor for measuring force and acceleration ±50 N / ±16 g (Bluetooth + USB)

Function and Applications

Use the Cobra SMARTsense Force & Acceleration to measure forces and accelerations of up to ± 50 N (± 16 g or ± 34.9 rad/s) and investigate the basic concepts of mechanics with your pupils in a child’s play way.

With sampling rates of up to 1 kHz and a resolution of 30 mN (0.01 g or 0.01 rad), the digital force sensor can be used flexibly in experiments ranging from Hooke’s law to Moments of inertia and torsional vibrations.

Connect the Cobra SMARTsense Force & Acceleration wirelessly via Bluetooth or wired via USB to the free and award-winning measuring software measureAPP – available for iOS, Android, Windows and Linux.

Switch on. Connect. Start measuring.

Benefits

• Get started straight away with any Bluetooth-enabled device and the free measureAPP.
