FN3000 SERIES
Load Cell tension and compression
• Full Scale Range :
from 0-10 kN to 0-1000 kN [0-2000 lb to 0-200000 lb]
• Tension and Compression
• Accuracy : 0.1% F.S.
• High Level Output Model with Integrated Amplifier
The FN3000 measures tension and compression in
standard ranges from 0-2000 lb to 0-200000 lb. The
mechanical design and gauge placement minimizes
transverse effects. Depending on the range, the
FN3000 is constructed in aluminium alloy or stainless
steel and is available with numerous options. It is
suitable for test bench applications and used in many
hostile environments and can be customized for
increased protection.
With many years of experience as a designer and
manufacturer of sensors, FGP Sensors often works
with customers to design or customize sensors for
specific uses and testing environments.
To meet your needs we also offer complete turnkey
systems. The matched components (sensor, power,
amplifier and digital display) are formatted, calibrated
and ready for immediate use.
