About the XFTC321 Miniature Force Sensor

The XFTC321 series has been specifically developed to measure tension and compression in static and dynamic applications.

The miniature size facilitates testing where space is at a 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 female threads, the XFTC321 is easily installed in industrial or OEM applications.

Applications for XFTC321

  • Dynamic strain cylinder regulation
  • Miniature press-fit device
  • Laboratory
  • Robotics regulation
  • Small size actuators
