MCS10-002-6C can capture up to three forces (tension and compression) and three moments (clockwise and anti-clockwise) in different combinations, “with accuracy class up to 0.1, making it ideal for control tasks in production and assembly lines, and automated test benches”, said the company.
The sensor, which measures 68mm in diameter (see photo) measures up to 2kN in the z-axis (along its cylindrical axis), 500N in x and y, and three orthogonal bending moments up to 20Nm.
Sealing is to IP67, and over-loads up to 200% can be handled.
For systems that include auto-configuration, there is a an option to have a TEDS (IEEE1451.4) electronic data sheet inside, and replace ‘6C’ in the part number with 3C for a model with only the linear force axes and no rotational capability.
