Multi Axis Load Cell

FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technologies Multi Axis Load Cell are designed to measure a multiple of forces and moments simultaneously with a single Load Cell. Multi Axis Load Cells can accurately measure up to six components (3 forces and 3 moments) of load. For example, Independent strain gage bridges are used to measure three directions of force: Longitude, Latitude, and Vertical, as well as, the moments about each force direction. Separate receptacles or cables are provided for each axis of measurement. A careful structural analysis has been done to isolate the forces and moments, which results in a reduction of cross-talk sensitivities.

All designs are one piece flexures, machined and gauged to give optimum output, stiffness and durability. For example, one of our more innovative designs, the Stick Shift/Gear Shift Knob Transducer offers a lightweight, robust feature comprised of Anodized Aluminum and weighing as little as 9 oz. Its special ergonomically designed cover contains antislip notches for proper handling coupled with less hand strain on the user.

FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology Multi Axis Load Cells offer a variety of ‘flexible’ mounting options comprising of threaded center holes for ease of fixturing, and various signal cable exit options (radial or axial). FUTEK’s open approach to altering our standard products line and custom design altogether per customer request is our signature that has gained us notoriety with our valued customers.

Our meticulous approach to the design of our Multi Axis Load Cells has given us a product line that can be used for impact testing, measuring rolling resistance, bolt load testing, tire testing applications, etc. FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology sensor applications are as broad as its Multi Axis Load Cell capabilities.
