Contact force limits
You might say: biomechanical limits
Contact-force limits constrain power and force in a power-and-force-limited application; body-specific limits require a risk assessment.
- What it does
- Constrain speed, energy, and contact behavior after the application risk assessment.
- Ask
- Which body region could be hit or clamped, and which limit applies?
Catalogue: Body region
- Hand and fingers: The body model lists hand and finger as an individual body region.
- Lower arm: The body model lists lower arm and hand joint as an individual body region.
- Chest: The body model lists chest as an individual body region.
- Face: The body model lists face as an individual body region.

In risk analysis, the individual body regions assigned to a collision risk are determined.
