FX29 Compact Compression Load Cell
TE Connectivity’s (TE) FX29 is a compact compression load cell
that offers exceptional price-to-performance in a robust sensor
package. Optimized for embedded force sensing applications from
disposable medical devices to durable appliances and exercise
equipment. The FX29 allows design flexibility with mV, amplified,
and digital output options.
The FX29 incorporates the high reliability Microfused technology
and is offered in ranges from 10lbf to 200lbf (50N to 1000N).
Microfused technology provides excellent span and zero stability,
outstanding cycle life, superior resolution, high over-range
capabilities, and an unamplified span sensitivity of 20mV/V.
The FX29 utilizes a two-piece construction of stainless steel
materials. The combination of a metal injection molded flexure and
micro miniaturized MEMS strain gauges allows flexibility of force
range options for a lower cost sensor. These improvements over
previous load cell designs give the FX29 more precise
dimensional control and better performance.
