We describe an apparatus for traceable, dynamic calibration of force transducers using harmonic excitation, and report calibration measurements of force transducers using this apparatus. In this system, the force applied to the transducer is produced by the acceleration of an attached mass, and is determined according to Newton's second law, <i>F</i> = <i>ma</i>. The acceleration is measured by primary means, using laser interferometry. The capabilities of this system are demonstrated by perform ...[more]
