The FX1901 Compression Load Cell units are intended for OEM use in laboratory, hospital or consumer product applications, establishing a breakthrough price/performance value for compression load cells. The FX1901 is a 1% load cell device with full scale ranges of 10, 25, 50 or 100 and 200 lbf compression. This new, low-cost technology enables force sensing in a whole new class of "smart" consumer and medical products.
TE Connectivity's proprietary Microfused™ technology, derived from demanding aerospace applications, employs micro-machined piezoresistive strain gauges fused with high temperature glass to a high performance stainless steel force measuring flexure. Microfused™ technology eliminates age-sensitive organic epoxies used in traditional load cell designs, providing excellent long term span and zero stability. Operating at very low strains, Microfused™ technology provides an essentially unlimited cycle life expectancy, superior resolution, high over-range capabilities and a ratiometric span of 20 mV/V. The combination of stamped flexures and micro from disposable medical devices to durable appliances and exercise equipment.
