The load cell is an indispensable component of many engineering machinery and industrial automation for measuring and sensing force and torque. In this paper, we propose to investigate a force sensor design combining Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) strain sensor with binocular load cell structure. For this purpose, we use a binocular test body instrumented with both resistive strain gauge as a reference and SAW strain sensor. The system enables the generation of extremely localized and accurate positive and negative strains. Static and dynamic measurements are performed using calibrated weights and a shock hammer respectively. For SAW sensor, a one-port resonator with frequency operation in the range of 410MHz was fabricated and mounted on the test body. For electronic conditioning, we use a low-cost RF electronic conditioning based on radar architecture using the integrated circuit AD8302. The system enables the measurement of S 11 reflection coefficient (module and phase) with sensitivity and noise spectral density of (29 mV/dB, 250 nV/√Hz) and (10 mV/°, 83 nV/√Hz) respectively. The SAW sensor mounted on body proof was successfully tested in static and dynamic mode using this electronic architecture. The results show good linearity, sensitivity values of 0.023 mV/ppm and 0.09 mV/ppm were obtained for amplitude and phase measurements respectively. The dynamic response was performed using a shock hammer and a comparison with conventional strain gauge shows a good agreement.
