FC23 Compression Load Cell SPECIFICATIONS 50 2000 lbf Ranges High Level or mV Interchangeable Compact Load Button Design Industry Standard Packaging CE Compliance The FC23 is a high compression force sensor that creates new markets previously unrealizable due to cost and performance constraints. The FC23 offers normalized zero and span for interchangeability and is thermally FEATURES compensated for changes in zero and span with respect to temperature. Interchangeable The FC23 incorporates MEAS proprietary Low Noise Microfused technology which employs micromachined Robust: High Over-Range Capability silicon piezoresistive strain gages fused with high High Reliability temperature glass to a high performance stainless steel Low Deflection substrate. Microfused technology eliminates age- Low Off Center Errors sensitive organic epoxies used in traditional load cell Fast Response Time designs providing excellent long-term span and zero Long Cycle Life Expectancy stability. The FC23 measures direct force and is therefore not subject to lead-die fatigue failure common with competitive designs which use a pressure capsule APPLICATIONS embedded within a silicone gel-filled cavity. Operating at Batch Weighing very low strains, Microfused technology provides an Robotics End-Effectors essentially unlimited cycle life expectancy, superior Variable Force Control resolution, and high over-range capabilities. Load and Compression Sensing The FC23 brings your OEM product to life whether Assembly Line Force Measurement you need thousands or millions of load cells annually. Pumps Although the standard model is ideal for a wide range of Hoist and Winch Loads applications, our dedicated design team at our Load Cell Weighing Engineering Center is ready to provide you with custom designs for your OEM applications. Please refer to models FS20 and FC22 for lower force applications.
