Miniature 3D Force Sensor 10N 20N Multi-axis Load Cell 1kg 2kg
The F3W miniature multi-axis load cell is a high-precision sensor specifically designed for force measurement in compact, space-constrained environments. Featuring a small footprint of just 40 x 40 mm and a low profile height of 20 mm, this sensor is constructed from lightweight yet durable aluminum, making it suitable for delicate installations without adding excessive mass. The F3W is available in rated capacities of 10N and 20N, allowing it to cater to low-force measurement requirements with high sensitivity and accuracy.
What sets the F3W apart is its ability to measure forces in three orthogonal directions—Fx, Fy, and Fz—simultaneously. Unlike traditional single-axis sensors that require complex vector resolution for multi-directional force analysis, the F3W offers direct output on each axis. It can accurately measure both tension and compression forces along all three axes, with polarity determined by the installation configuration, thereby simplifying signal interpretation and data analysis.
This triaxial force sensor is particularly well-suited for advanced applications in both industrial automation and scientific research. Typical use cases include robotic force feedback control, real-time gripper force monitoring in automation systems, anti-collision feedback mechanisms, medical device testing, haptic interface development, and joystick or control lever calibration. Its small size makes it ideal for integration into compact tools, surgical instruments, or embedded systems where space is a critical factor.
In addition to its standard offerings, the F3W 3D load cell is also available in customized configurations to suit unique application needs. Customizations may include tailored mounting options, different force ranges, specialized output connectors, or additional environmental protection features. This level of flexibility ensures that the F3W can be seamlessly integrated into a wide variety of systems, providing accurate, stable, and reliable force measurement across multiple axes.
