About the FMT Pancake Force Sensor

Althen washer loadcell, model FMT, is designed to measure clamping and screwing forces. The sensor design reduces the hysteresis and sensitivity variations associated with torque generated by friction during tightening. The FMT has a high stiffness and can be used in static and dynamic applications.

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 FMT

  • Monitoring Blot Clamping for Bridges,
  • Process Control Equipment,
  • Robotics and Effectors,
  • Laboratory and Research
