MicrofusedTM technology eliminates age-sensitive organic epoxies used in classical load cell designs providing excellent long term span and zero stability. Operating at very low strains, MicrofusedTM technology provides gage factors greater than 100, an essentially unlimited cycle life expectancy, superior resolution, exceedingly high over-range margins without the need for stops and a ratiometric span of up to 4V. MicrofusedTM sensors are used in a variety of applications including bathroom scales, paint sprayers and safetycritical automotive brake sensors. MSI’s models FC21 and FC22 are appropriate for use in all types of OEM weighing and force measurement applications where high reliability and accuracy are critical. From appliance controls to biomechanical force feedback, the FC21 and FC22 are the OEM designer’s dream-come-true cost-optimized to bring your OEM products to life whether you need thousands or millions of load cells annually. Although the standard model is ideal for a wide range of applications, our dedicated design team at our Load Cell Engineering Center is ready to provide you with custom designs for your OEM applications. The FC21 and FC22 are fully thermally compensated for changes in zero and span with respect to temperature and offer normalized zero and span for interchangeability.
