Calibration is achieved by a drop ball test based on the levitation mass method using an optical interferometer. From the conducted experiments, the output of the force transducer could be corrected, in line with the previous paper written by the authors. Moreover, the dynamic correction coefficient could be obtained by this method, even without an expensive air slider, which was used in our previous method. The calibration performed by the developed method proved to be very significant in correcting the dynamic force measurement error by the force transducer with a very small root mean square (RMS) error compared to the results of measurement in the absence of calibration and dynamic correction. The RMS error of measurement result by the force transducer with dynamic calibration and dynamic correction using the developed method is about 1.6 N. This error is equivalent to 1% of the maximum force applied to the force transducer, which is approximately 160 N.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Drop-balls,Dynamic calibration,Dynamic correction,Dynamic forces,Force transducers,Levitation mass method,Optical interferometer,Root-mean-square errors[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]drop ball tester,dynamic force measurement,force transducer,levitation mass method[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This research was supported by funding from the ‘Pendidikan Magister Menuju Doktor untuk Sarjana Unggul’ (PMDSU) scholarship program, ‘Peningkatan Kualitas Publikasi Inter-nasional’ (PKPI) Program, and ‘Hibah Desentralisasi Program Penelitian Terapan Unggulan Perguruan Tinggi’ (PTUPT) of the Indonesian Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education (Contract Number: 536h/l1.C01/PL/2018).
