Studying　the　influence　of　the　strain　gauge　layout　on　the　output　of　the　force　transducer　under　eccentric　and　tilting　loading　is　very　important　to　enhance　the　anti-eccentric　and　tilting　loading　ability　of　the　transducer.　In　this　paper,　using　the　theory　of　elasticity,　the　output　model　of　the　column　force　transducer　under　eccentric　and　tilting　loading　is　established　considering　the　influence　of　the　position　deviation,　angle　misalignment　and　height　location　of　the　strain　gauges.　Based　on　the　model,　the　influences　of　the　position　deviation,　angle　misalignment　and　height　location　on　the　indication　error　and　direction　error　are　discussed,　respectively.　The　verification　experiments　were　carried　out.　Study　results　show　that　under　eccentric　and　tilting　loading,　when　position　errors　exist　among　the　strain　gauges　or　angle　misalignment　of　the　strain　gauges　exists,　large　indication　error　and　direction　error　occur.　The　indication　error　and　direction　error　increase　sharply　as　the　position　deviation　and　angle　misalignment　increase.　When　attaching　the　strain　gauges,　if　the　position　deviation　and　angle　misalignment　are　both　not　greater　than　1　degree,　the　indication　error　could　be　controlled　within　±0.15%　even　the　transducer　is　under　the　tilting　loading　of　0.1　degree.　The　height　location　variation　of　the　strain　gauge　has　a　little　effect　on　the　output　of　the　transducer.　The　analysis　results　of　the　developed　force　transducer　output　model　are　accurate　and　reliable,　which　can　be　a　guidance　to　control　the　manufacture　processing　of　the　force　transducers.　©　2019,　Science　Press.　All　right　reserved.
