XFTC300
Miniature Load Cell
SPECIFICATIONS

Ranges 0-2N to 0-2kN [0.45 lbf to 450 lbf]
High Stiffness
Threaded Male Mechanical Fitting
Linearity < 0,5% FS

The XFTC300 series has been specifically developed tomeasure tension and/or compression in static and dynamicapplications. The miniature size and light-weight facilitate testing
where these conditions are necessary.

FEATURES

Tension and/or Compression
Small design easy to mount
Wide temperature range in option
Amplifier Integrated optional
Easy to customize signal anddesign

APPLICATIONSThe sensing element is fitted with a fully temperaturecompensated Wheatstone bridge equipped with high stability
micro-machined silicon strain gages. The use of silicon strain
gages optimizes the load cell’s performance at low ranges andfrequencies.
For sensors with a range of between 2 and 2kN, a highlevel output model is available. With two male threads, theXFTC300 is easily installed in industrial or OEM applications. Astrain relief spring strengthens the cable output.
On request, Instruction documents can be provided toease the selection and use of our sensors and provide helpful
tips.
