Description
MC3246 3-Axis Landing Gear Rectangular Force Platform
The MC3246 has a 32 x 46 in. surface area and is available in 100,000, 150,000 and 200,000 lb vertical force capacities (see Specifications Tables). The resistive foil-type strain gages and 4-arm Wheatstone bridges optimize measurement accuracy within the 6061-T6 aluminum instrument body. An anodized finish provides further protection from environmental and industrial conditions.
This sensor also includes hold-down mounting holds on the top and bottom surfaces, yielding maximum stiffness while minimizing inherent crosstalk and excessive zero shift.
