PFS-3AX / FX / FY / FZ • HUMAN FACTORS

3-Axis Pedal & Bicycle Force Sensors

Separate vertical pedal force from fore-aft and lateral components for cockpit ergonomics and laboratory bicycle pedal-force analysis.

Fz 1,000–2,000 N; Fx / Fy 500 N

Envelope request

Request Fz 1–2 kN and Fx / Fy ±500 N, or the two-axis Fy / Fz variant. Confirm simultaneous combined loads.

Mounting request

BIKE requests a pedal / crank adapter; RUDDER requests a cockpit fixture. Neither interface is established by a component photograph.

Signal-chain request

Independent bridge channels with synchronized acquisition, axis signs and a cross-axis calibration matrix.

Acceptance evidence

Record the coordinate origin, transformation to the application frame, combined-load envelope and cross-talk uncertainty.

TEST PLAN / INTEGRATION

Define the installed measurement.

Cycling biomechanics

Measure force components in a defined pedal frame. Crank angle, cadence and lever geometry are separate inputs to torque / power analysis.

Rudder and toe-brake testing

Separate rudder travel / force from differential toe braking. Supply left / right layout and fixture drawings.

Two-axis pedal ergonomics

PFS-2AX-PEDAL requests Fy / Fz without claiming a third measured component. Choose acquisition channels accordingly.

INSTALLED ACCEPTANCE / EVIDENCE

Validate combined loads and cross-axis response.

Record the coordinate origin, transformation to the application frame, combined-load envelope and cross-talk uncertainty.

Request the capacity-specific drawing, sensor and readout configuration, calibration scope and acceptance procedure. Reference photographs and request targets do not replace those records.

Release checklist

01Define coordinate axes, sign convention and combined force limits.

02Request a cross-axis calibration matrix and synchronised acquisition.

03For bicycle power, provide crank angle and cadence measurement separately.

04Signed drawing revision and configuration-specific calibration evidence

PFS-3AX / ENGINEERING ANSWERS

Resolve these questions before ordering.

Does a three-axis force sensor measure cycling power?

Not by itself. Power also needs the correct moment arm, crank angle / velocity and coordinate transformation.

Are the pictured multi-axis blocks complete pedals?

No. They are reviewed supplier component references. Pedal / crank or cockpit adapters and the configured assembly require engineering confirmation.

From pedal load to usable data.

ENGINEERING / REQUEST

Build the right
measurement chain.

Send your force range, pedal dimensions and acquisition requirements. Request a mounting drawing, CAD review and a complete sensor / readout quotation.

Replacing an existing sensor?

Include the exact part number, drawing revision, connector pinout and calibration requirements. Compatibility is reviewed per configuration.

Corporate procurement requests

Include your purchasing entity, PO requirements, destination and required invoice / calibration documents. Payment options, trade terms, freight and delivery are confirmed in the written quotation.

MODEL-AWARE ENGINEERING REQUEST

Primary model: PFS-3AX-BIKEFz 1,000–2,000 N; Fx / Fy ±500 N · Bicycle biomechanicsUSB acquisition / controller request · USB acquisitionApplication-specific fixture review; quoted separately

Start with your model, contact and delivery needs. Connection and acquisition details can be refined below; supplied specifications require written review.

Optional connector, acquisition & calibration details

These current values are included in your copied, emailed and submitted request, even when this panel is closed. Change them if your integration needs differ.

Multiple bridge channels may require a multi-pin or breakout cable. Review shared excitation, conditioning location and the full pinout before selecting a connector.

Accessory planning allowances

Selected allowance: $0. A travel logger replaces the separate handheld meter in this request. Sensor, custom fixtures, USB / HID electronics, accredited calibration, taxes and shipping are quoted separately. Actual hardware compatibility and any kit-included mounting are reconciled in the quotation. The universal pedal-plate allowance does not apply to this family. Its custom fixture is reviewed and quoted separately.

We use these details to respond to your request. Privacy policy. Request codes and design targets require written confirmation.
