Product Overview- 6-Axis Force/Torque Sensing – Measures force and torque in all six degrees of freedom (Fx, Fy, Fz, Tx, Ty, Tz) with ranges up to 580 N force and 20 Nm torque, suitable for testing and robotic automation.
- Form Factor – Compact, low-profile design with high capacity, external electronics, and a through-hole to allow passage of linkages or cables.
- Analog Output (+/-10V) – Provides simple, real-time force and torque feedback compatible with most PLCs, controllers, and data acquisition systems.
- Extremely-High Strength – EDM wire-cut from high yield-strength stainless steel. Maximum allowable overload values range from about 5.7 to 25.3 times rated capacities depending on axis.
- High Signal-to-Noise Ratio – Silicon strain gages provide a signal substantially stronger than conventional foil gages; amplified for near-zero noise distortion.
- IP20 Rated for Controlled Environments – Basic protection against solid objects; ideal for clean, dry, enclosed industrial or laboratory use (select variants/options may have different ratings).
