About the FN3000 Pancake Force Sensor

The FN3000 measures tension and compression in standard ranges from 0-10 kN to 0-1000kN. The mechanical design and gauge placement minimizes transverse effects. Depending on the range, the FN3000 is constructed in aluminium alloy or stainless steel and is available with numerous options. It is suitable for test bench applications and used in many hostile environments and can be customized for increased protection.

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 FN3000

  • Process control equipment
  • Weighing calibration tool
  • Fatigue tests benches
  • Hydraulic press regulation
  • Laboratory and Research
