Product Description

The model FS20 is a low compression force sensor. The FS20 offers normalized zero and span for interchangeability and is thermally compensated for changes in zero and span with respect to temperature. The FS20 incorporates TE’s proprietary Microfused technology which employs micromachined silicon piezoresistive strain gages fused with high temperature glass to a high performance stainless steel substrate. Microfused technology eliminates age-sensitive organic epoxies used in traditional load cell designs providing excellent long term span and zero stability. The FS20 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 the FC22 and FC23 for higher force applications.
