XFL212R Miniature Force Sensor

Extraordinarily thin miniature load cell


Performance features

The XFL212R is an ultra-compact compression load cell designed for precise force measurements in both static and dynamic applications. Thanks to the integrated temperature compensation in the cable, measurements remain stable even under varying temperature conditions. The spherical load button prevents off-axis loading and improves measurement accuracy.

Operating conditions

  • Operating temperature: -40°C to +120°C
  • IP50 protection rating
  • Integrated Wheatstone bridge with silicon strain gauges

Application areas

  • Assembly tools for microcomponents
  • Test and measurement setups
  • Robotics and mechatronics
  • Medical equipment
  • Laboratory environments and R&D

Product benefits

  • Exceptionally small size for integration in confined spaces
  • High reliability at low forces
  • Optimized for precision applications
  • Long service life thanks to robust material selection

Other important features

  • Signal under compression is negative
  • Aluminium or stainless steel, depending on measuring range
  • Up to 3x overload without damage
