The FC23 is a
high compression force sensor that
creates new markets previously unrealizable due to cost
and performance constraints. 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 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 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
.
The FC23 brings your OEM product to life whether
you need thousands or millions of load cells annually.
Although the standard model is ideal for a wide range of
applications, our dedicated design team at our Load Cell
Engineering Center is ready to provide you with custom
designs for your OEM applications.
Please refer to models FS20 and FC22 for lower force
applications.
