Low Compression Load Cell

The FS20 compression force sensor incorporates our proprietary Microfused™ sensor technology which employs micromachined silicon piezoresistive strain gauges fused with high temperature glass to a high performance stainless steel substrate. Microfused technology eliminates age-sensitive organic epoxies used in traditional load cell designs providing excellent long term span and zero stability. The FS20 measures direct force and is therefore not subject to lead-die fatigue failure common with competitive designs which use a pressure capsule embedded within a silicone gel-filled cavity. Operating at very low strains, our technology provides an essentially unlimited cycle life expectancy, superior resolution, and high over-range capabilities.
