XY Load Cells — Specialized Test & Measurement Solutions

A 6-axis load cell, also called a force/torque sensor, simultaneously measures three linear forces (Fx, Fy, Fz) and three moments (Mx, My, Mz). It uses multiple strain gage bridges and advanced mechanical geometry to decouple each measurement axis. These sensors are used in robotics, aerospace structural testing, and biomechanical research where full spatial force data is critical.

Crosstalk is the unintended signal response in one measurement axis caused by a load applied on another axis. Low crosstalk is critical for measurement accuracy. SensorData Technologies' multi-axis sensors achieve less than 2% crosstalk for torque and thrust axes and less than 0.5% crosstalk for X-Y force axes, ensuring high measurement fidelity.

SensorData Technologies multi-axis sensors are constructed from SAE 4340 alloy steel with a satin nickel finish. This high-strength material provides excellent stiffness, fatigue resistance, and dimensional stability, making them suitable for demanding industrial, automotive, and tire testing applications that require reliable long-term performance under cyclic loading.

Yes. SensorData Technologies offers custom design consultation for non-standard capacities and configurations. With over 25 years of in-house engineering experience and proprietary design capabilities, the company can develop sensors tailored to unique force, torque, and thrust combinations that standard catalog products may not accommodate.

SensorData Technologies multi-axis sensors are compatible with both AC carrier and DC strain gage signal conditioning electronics. This broad compatibility ensures integration flexibility across a wide range of data acquisition systems and test equipment environments commonly used in automotive, material testing, and industrial laboratory settings.

SensorData Technologies offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee on standard sensors, a 60-day return policy, and free repair service or replacement parts at the company's discretion. Select products include lifetime warranty options, and free calibration is available on certain models for the first four years, providing strong post-purchase support.
