About the FN2420 Cylindrical Force Sensor
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. Constructed in stainless steel, the sensor is suitable for use in many hostile environments and can be customized for increased protection.
To meet your needs we also offer complete turnkey systems. The matched components (sensor, power, amplifier and digital display) are formatted, calibrated and ready for immediate use.
Applications for FN2420
- Process Control Equipment
- Weighing Calibration Tool
