Dimensions are identical instandard ranges from 0-100 N to 0-20000 N so during testing thesensor can be interchanged for another of a different rangewithout mechanical modifications. The sensor design minimizestransverse effects. For high-level output, a model with integratedamplifier is available as are numerous other options.With a long-standing experience as a designer andmanufacturer of sensors, TE CONNECTIVITY often works withcustomers to design or customize sensors for specific uses andtesting environments.To meet your needs, we also offer extensive turnkeysystems. The matched components (sensor, power, amplifierand digital display) are formatted, calibrated and ready forimmediate use.On request, Instruction documents can be provided toease the selection and use of our sensors and provide helpfultips.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FEATURES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;
