About the ALF307 Multi-axis Force Sensor
The ALF307 loadcell provides a bi-directional direct measurement of the X, Y and Z components resulting from a force vector. Apart from error evaluations, each output is pure and requires no mathematical manipulation.
The ALF307 is ideally suited to many industrial and scientific applications, including automotive research.
The performance specification is valid for moments up to 50Nm. For applications up to 200Nm please see the ALF307 Engineering Application Sheet.
The loadcell can be manufactured with force ranges to suit the application. The axes can have different force ranges. Please consult our engineering department about the viability of the required ranges.
We are happy to design variants of this loadcell to meet your specific requirements. Versions can be manufactured for fully compensated operation up to +250°C. Please consult our engineering department.
Notes
1. AL = Applied load. 3. Temperature coefficients apply over the compensated range.
2. RL = Rated load. 4. Values apply to all axes unless otherwise specified.
Connections
The ALF307 is fitted with 2 metres of PVC insulated 12 core screened cable, type 7-1-12C, terminated with a 25 pin D type plug. The screen is not connected to the loadcell body.
