Abstract
In order to verify the performance of high-speed train and core equipments such as current collection system, sophisticated tests and evaluating procedures must be considered. In case of force sensor to test contact force of pantograph, it should customize the test instruments according to characteristics of pantograph. In this paper, the force sensor with a built-in strain-gauge which developed to improve measuring performance of contact force between the pantograph and catenary system is introduced. The test and evaluation results of force sensor's static and dynamic calibration with pantograph shows that its design is very suitable and applicable for on-line test. Henceforth, the force sensor will be applied to test interaction characteristics between the pantograph and catenary system on the high-speed line and expected by a part of measuring system for evaluating current collecting characteristics more reliably.
