CE Compliance
The FX1901 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 200lbf
compression. This new, low-cost technology enables force
sensing in a whole new class of "smart" consumer and
medical products.
MEAS’ proprietary Microfused™ technology,
derived from demanding aerospace applications, employs
micro-machined piezoresistive strain gages 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 20mV/V. The
combination of stamped flexures and micro miniaturized
MEMs strain gages permits low costs to be achieved in high
volume OEM applications ranging from disposable medical
devices to durable appliances and exercise equipment.
