Description

The FX29K0-040B-0050-L load cell from TE Connectivity utilizes a precision strain gauge bridge to convert applied compressive force into a proportional millivolt-level electrical signal. Its robust construction ensures stable performance under repeated loading cycles, with a full-scale output optimized for direct interfacing with instrumentation amplifiers or microcontroller ADCs.

Designed for integration into automated systems, the sensor’s compact 20mm x 20mm form factor and 40mm cable length allow for installation in tight mechanical assemblies. The 4-wire connection scheme provides Kelvin sensing for accurate measurement by compensating for lead wire resistance, which is critical for high-precision applications in industrial weighing and force feedback control.

Key Features

  • Precision Strain Gauge Design: Delivers a linear, low-noise output signal proportional to the applied compressive load for accurate force measurement.
  • Robust Mechanical Construction: Engineered for durability and repeatability under dynamic loading conditions typical in automation and robotics.
  • Four-Wire (Kelvin) Connection: The included ribbon cable with connector enables accurate signal measurement by minimizing errors from lead resistance.
  • Wide Temperature Tolerance: Maintains specified performance across an operating range of 0°C to 50°C and a storage range from -40°C to +85°C.
  • Compact FX29 Series Footprint: The small 20mm x 20mm sensor body facilitates easy integration into assemblies with limited space.
  • Low Power Operation: Consumes a typical operating current of 3mA, making it suitable for battery-powered or low-power embedded systems.

Applications

  • Industrial platform scales and bench-top weighing systems.
  • Robotic end-effector force feedback and gripper pressure control.
  • Process control and overload detection in automated assembly lines.
  • Embedded force measurement in medical devices and fitness equipment.
  • Research and development test stands for material and component testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum excitation voltage for this FX29K0 load cell?

The TE Connectivity FX29K0-040B-0050-L load cell is rated for a maximum excitation voltage of 5.5V DC. Operating at or below this voltage ensures the strain gauge bridge is powered correctly and provides a stable, linear output signal without risk of damage or signal saturation.

How do I connect and wire the 4-wire ribbon cable?

The included 4-wire ribbon cable uses a Kelvin connection scheme. Typically, two wires are for the excitation voltage supply (V+ and V-), and the other two are for the differential signal output (S+ and S-). This configuration minimizes measurement error caused by lead resistance. Consult the datasheet for the specific pinout of the connector.

What is the operating temperature range for this sensor?

This load cell is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C. It can be stored in environments from -40°C to +85°C. Performance within the specified operating range ensures accuracy and long-term reliability of the force measurements.

Can this sensor be used for tension (pulling) measurements?

No, the FX29K0-040B-0050-L is specifically designed as a compression-type load cell. It measures force applied to press the two mounting surfaces together. Applying tensile (pulling) forces could damage the sensor and will not provide accurate readings. For tension applications, a dedicated tension load cell model should be selected.
