DYNAMIC FORCE CONTACTOR, PROVIDING A DYNAMIC FORCE, AND CALIBRATING A FORCE SENSOR TO BE TRACEABLE TO THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF UNITS
First Claim
1. A dynamic force contactor to provide a dynamic force, the dynamic force contactor comprising:
- a magnet that provides a magnetic field;
an electrical conductor that communicates an alternating current perpendicular to the magnetic field, the alternating current from the electrical conductor in combination with the magnetic field from the magnet providing a Lorentzian force;
an armature disposed proximate to the magnet, the electrical conductor disposed on the armature such that the armature reciprocates in a reciprocating direction relative to the magnet in response to the Lorentzian force and that produces the dynamic force; and
a dynamic force mediator in communication with the electrical conductor and the armature such that;
the dynamic force mediator monitors an alternating voltage across the electrical conductor;
the dynamic force mediator monitors an alternating current through the electrical conductor; and
the dynamic force mediator monitors a reciprocation velocity of the armature.
