Thin Film Force Sensors

SensorData Technologies force sensors achieve nonlinearity and hysteresis as low as 0.07% for the F341-F347 series. The F502 series offers 0.15% nonlinearity and hysteresis. High-accuracy construction using SAE 4340 alloy steel ensures consistent, repeatable measurements across all capacity ranges.

Available capacities vary by model. The F312 series covers 200 to 3,000 lbf; the F200, F341-F347, and F502 series range from 5,000 to 500,000 lbf; and the F654 series covers 5,000 to 25,000 lbf. Custom capacities can be engineered upon request.

Yes, SensorData Technologies force sensors are compatible with both AC carrier and DC strain gage signal conditioning electronics, making them easy to integrate with most existing data acquisition systems and instrumentation setups used in testing and industrial environments.

The fatigue-rated shear web design is rated for 100 million fully reversed cycles. SensorData Technologies guarantees these sensors against fatigue failure for this cycle count, making them ideal for continuous component life cycle testing and long-duration structural test programs.

The low-profile design, with deflection less than 0.002 inch, provides high structural stiffness that minimizes system compliance errors. This is critical in precision material testing, press calibration, and aerospace structural test fixtures where accuracy and minimal mechanical disturbance are essential.

Yes, SensorData Technologies force sensors are engineered to resist the effects of bending and off-center loading with minimal crosstalk. The shear web design inherently rejects extraneous load components, ensuring measurement accuracy even when load application is not perfectly axial or centered.
