te.com FX29 Compact Compression Load Cell Versatile Miniature Force Sensor mV, Amplified, and Digital Outputs Low Power Consumption Rugged Microfused Sensing Element Stainless Steel Enclosure Several Load Ranges TE Connectivitys (TE) FX29 is a compact compression load cell that offers exceptional price-to-performance in a robust sensor package. Optimized for embedded force sensing applications from disposable medical devices to durable appliances and exercise equipment. The FX29 allows design flexibility with mV, amplified, Features and digital output options. Compact Design The FX29 incorporates the high reliability Microfused technology mV or Amplified Analog Outputs and is offered in ranges from 10lbf to 200lbf (50N to 1000N). 2 Optional I C Digital Interface Microfused technology provides excellent span and zero stability, High Over Range Capability outstanding cycle life, superior resolution, high over-range capabilities, and an unamplified span sensitivity of 20mV/V. The FX29 utilizes a two-piece construction of stainless steel Applications materials. The combination of a metal injection molded flexure and micro miniaturized MEMS strain gauges allows flexibility of force Medical Infusion Pumps range options for a lower cost sensor. These improvements over Analog & Digital Scales previous load cell designs give the FX29 more precise Fitness & Exercise Equipment dimensional control and better performance.
