About the XFU400 Miniature Force Sensor

Available in a range of measurements and a variety of mounting threads, the XFU400 is easily installed.

Its miniature size facilitates testing where space is at a premium. The sensing element is fitted with a fully temperature compensated Wheatstone bridge equipped with high stability micro-machined silicon strain gages.
The XFU400 is used in applications that require a spherical plain rod-end bearing and has the capacity of accepting a full scale range of up to 5 kN [1 klbf].

Applications for XFU400

  • Linkage forces
  • Machine tool
  • Automotive systems test
  • Robotics and effectors
