If for example an industrial application in medical or engineering or robotics requires simultaneous measurement of forces or torques along multiple vector axes, a so-called multi-axis-transducer is recommended. A multi-axis-transducer, also known as a multi-component transducer or sensor, measures forces and moments that occur in more than one spacial axis – e.g. measurement in the x and y axis – and is also extremely compact.
GTM is the top choice for reliable and innovative industrial multi-axis measuring technology: standardized or application-optimized multi-axis transducers, multi-axis measuring platforms, tire uniformity and torsion testing machines, or wheel force sensors for the automotive industry. GTM multi-axis sensors are often ideal for use in high-end multi-axial test benches, for example for function tests, or component and structural testing. In 2005, our calibration lab was the first in the world to be accredited for calibration of multi-component transducers. Since then, we have been working endlessly to research and develop new multi-axis measuring systems and to optimize existing force transducers, as well as to create custom high-precision multi-component measuring platforms.

Designed for Precision
High-Precision and Reliable Measurements
All GTM multi-axis sensors and multi-axis measuring systems feature outstanding precision and minimal margins of error throughout the entire measurement range. GTM also provides you with a custom compensation matrix, which can greatly reduce cross-talk between your measuring signals. The compensation matrix is a basic requirement for assessing and minimizing cross-talk with smart GTM measuring technology. In addition, GTM always uses high-quality connecting cables, exclusively with 6-wire technology.
