FN4055 Force Sensor for Automotive

Measures with excellent accuracy the forces exerted on the seatbelt


Key features

  • Protected against overload
  • Tension only
  • Usable without cutting the belt
  • For static and dynamic applications
  • Compatible with most seatbelts
  • Machined with integrated mechanical stops

About the FN4055 Force Sensor for Automotive

The FN4055 measures with excellent accuracy the forces exerted on the seatbelt. Only the actual compression upon the seatbelt is measured, as the sensor is insensitive to contact from the crash test dummy. The unit is designed for very low range, like tests for kid's security. It is protected against overload by mechanical stops.

The similar sensor EL20-S458 covers requests with higher ranges up to 25kN.

Applications for FN4055

  • Automotive crash test
  • Kid seats tests
  • Security belts controls
  • Laboratory and research
