Product Description

The model FC23 is a high compression force sensor. The FC23 offers normalized zero and span for interchangeability and is thermally compensated for changes in zero and span with respect to temperature. The FC23 incorporates MEAS’ proprietary Microfused™ technology which employs micro-machined silicon piezoresistive strain gages fused with high temperature glass to a high performance stainless steel substrate. The Microfused™ technology eliminates age sensitive organic epoxies used in traditional load cell designs providing excellent long term span and zero stability. The FC23 measures direct force and is therefore not subject to lead-die fatigue failure common with competitive designs which use a pressure capsule embedded within a silicone gel-filled cavity. Operating at very low strains, Microfused™ technology provides an essentially unlimited cycle life expectancy, superior resolution, and high over-range capabilities. Please refer to models FS20 and FC22 for lower force applications.
