About the XFTC301 Miniature Force Sensor

The XFTC301 series has been specifically developed to measure tension and compression in static and dynamic applications.

The miniature size facilitates testing where space is at premium. The sensing element is fitted with a fully temperature compensated 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 and frequencies. A strain relief spring strengthens the cable output. With two threaded male studs, the XFTC301 is easily installed in industrial or OEM applications.

Applications for XFTC301

  • Micro mechanic equipment
  • Miniature press-fit device
  • Robotics regulation
  • Small size actuators
