Futek MBA500 torque and thrust bi-axial load cell

The Futek MBA500 torque and thrust bi-axial load cell is designed to measure reaction torque moments as well as tension and compression loads, all in one transducer. Temperature compensated and constructed of all aluminium, this torque/thrust sensor is able to achieve 0.2% nonlinearity and provide 125% overcapacity. Two separate outputs are provided for applied torque and thrust forces. Force/torque sensors are used throughout industry for product testing, robotic assembly, grinding and polishing.

The MBA500 offers a suitable solution for measuring loads in tension and compression as well as torque in clockwise and counterclockwise direction. Offering a compact design and weighing 185 g, the MBA500 uses metal foil strain gauge technology.

This particular sensor uses can be modified or customised to meet many requirements.
