AMTI's MC3A force and torque sensor is specifically designed for the precise measurement of forces and moments. The sensor measures the three orthogonal force and moment components along the X, Y, and Z axes, producing a total of six outputs. The characteristics of this strain gage sensor make it ideal for research and testing environments; it has high stiffness, high sensitivity, low cross-talk, excellent repeatability and long term stability. It is simple, easy to use, and is available in either 100, 250, 500, 1000 pound (440, 1100, 2200, 4500 Newton) vertical capacities. The body of the load cell is manufactured from a high-strength aluminum alloy with an anodized finish to protect the exterior from corrosion. Elastomeric O-ring seals provide internal protection of the strain gages and wiring from industrial environments and moisture exposure.
