The FN2420 is a high accuracy compression load cell often used
in applications involving calibration presses. It comes with many
options, including a concave loading fixture and an integrated
amplifier for high-level output. The FN2420's design and optional
concave loading fixture minimize transverse effects. Constructedin stainless steel, the sensor is suitable for use in many hostileenvironments and can be customized for increased protection.
With a long-standing experience as a designer andmanufacturer of sensors, TE CONNECTIVITY often works withcustomers to design or customize sensors for specific uses andtesting environments.

APPLICATIONS

Process Control Equipment
Weighing Calibration Tool
Robotics and Effectors
Laboratory and Research
Calibration Presses
