THRUST MEASURING EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR THRUSTER

摘要

PURPOSE: A device and a method for measuring thrust are provided to accurately measure thrust even if a shaft for a thruster is not the same as a shaft for the device and to easily obtain calibration data for measuring thrust. CONSTITUTION: A device for measuring thrust comprises a thruster adapter(110), a second base(120), a measuring load cell(130), a calibrating load cell, and a controller. The thruster adapter is composed of a fixing member which fixes a thruster(200). The second base is installed in the bottom of the thruster adapter and is horizontally moved on a first base. The measuring load cell has a measuring load cell bar and a measuring adapter. The calibrating load cell gas a calibrating load cell bar(141) and a calibration adapter(143). The controller calculates and corrects an error value of the measuring load cell.
