Series FS06 Tension and Compression Force Sensors
The FS06 Series Force Sensor is designed to measure tension and compression forces in industrial applications that require the use of large fixtures, grips, and accessories.
Its rugged design makes it ideal for integration with Mark-10 test frames rated up to 500 lbF (2.2 kN), providing high accuracy and reliability in both laboratory and production environments.
Thanks to Plug & Test® technology, all calibration and configuration information is stored within the sensor itself, allowing it to be calibrated directly in the test frame or externally using a Mark-10 indicator (optional adapter required). This simplifies sensor interchangeability and reduces setup time.
The FS06 Series is available in capacities ranging from 50 to 500 lbF (250 N to 2.5 kN) and includes a calibration certificate with 10 data points in each measurement direction, ensuring traceability and accuracy according to international standards.
