About the XFTC320 Miniature Force Sensor

The XFTC320 series has been specifically developed to measure tension and/or compression in static and dynamic applications.

The miniature size and light weight facilitate testing where these conditions are necessary. 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 gauges optimizes the load cell’s performance at low ranges and frequencies. For sensors with a range of between 500 N and 2 kN [100 and 400lbf], a high-level output model is available. With two female threads, the XFTC320 is easily installed in industrial or OEM applications. A strain relief spring strengthens the cable output.

Applications for XFTC320

  • Strain measurement on finger-like command
  • Underwater robots control command
  • Miniature press-fit device
  • Fatigue tests benches
  • Small size actuators
