FS6

Engineered for precise measurement of forces and moments along the X, Y, and Z axes, the FS6 is a 6-channel fixator sensor designed to conveniently mount between two load elements. Both the top and bottom surfaces of the sensor have threaded holes as attachment points. The body of this transducer is manufactured from a high strength aluminum alloy for superior durability. Complete with an anodized finish to withstand harsh environments, the FS6 is ideal for a variety of testing conditions.

Measuring 2.5 x 1.5 in., the FS6 is available in 100 lb, 250 lb, and 500 lb vertical force capacities (see Specifications Tables). Its high stiffness, high sensitivity, and low cross-talk yield excellent repeatability and stability for long term use. Common applications of this sensor include robotics, ergonomics, and industrial developmental research.

See the Specifications Tables below for more details.
