FN7080
Multi-components Gear Stick Load Cell
SPECIFICATIONS

Ranges 200 to 500 N (40 to 100 lbf)
Multi-components, up to 3 Force channels
Aluminum bodyHigh adaptability to rod by cylindrical interfaces.

Designed for automotive comfort testing, theFN7080 is installed in place of the original gear knob on thegear stick and measures the force required to change gear.
Force is measured either in two or three directions. An
adapter coupled with an interface collar allows a simple andrapid fitting of the FN7080 to the majority of vehicles.
The ease of mounting enables the FN7080 to be
used on a vehicle or on a test bench. An optional version
provides direct high level output and makes the FN7080 afavorite among European car builders.

FEATURES

2 and 3 axes measurements
Fits most gear sticks
Compact and ergonomic design
Integrated amplifier optional
Exists in many optional designs

TE CONNECTIVITY has many years of experience
as a designer and manufacturer of sensing solutions to theautomotive industry and can supply standard or custom
sensors for specific uses and testing environments.

APPLICATIONSOn request, Instruction documents can be provided
to ease the selection and use of our sensors and provide
helpful tips.
