FEATURES

The rugged FN3050 load cell is highly suited for process industry
and test bench applications. Dimensions are identical instandard ranges from 0-100 N to 0-20000 N so during testing thesensor can be interchanged for another of a different range
without mechanical modifications. The sensor design minimizes
transverse effects. For high-level output, a model with integrated
amplifier is available as are numerous other options.

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.

Same housing for all ranges
Mechanical stops in option
Optional:
Tension Pull Plate
Load Button
Integrated amplifier optional

APPLICATIONS

Process control equipment
Regulation load cell
Robotics and effectors
Laboratory and Research
Dedicated to low and medium
quantity volume
