Description
MC8 High Load Capacity Mid-Sized Square Force Sensor
The body of the MC8 is manufactured from an anodized aluminum shell which is secured between high strength 17-4 stainless steel plates on the top and bottom surfaces. The working surface of this instrument is 8 inches square, and the top and bottom plates are each equipped with 4 threaded holes for mounting. Conformal coating of the strain gages further ensures consistent and reliable performance.
