Description

The FX293X-040B-0050-L load cell from TE Connectivity utilizes a precision strain gauge bridge configuration to provide accurate force measurement in compression. Its compact, monolithic design ensures high stiffness and minimal deflection under load, delivering a stable mV/V output signal proportional to the applied force.

Engineered for demanding environments, the sensor features a wide operating temperature range and is protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to ±4.0 kV. The integrated 4-wire ribbon cable with connector simplifies wiring and system integration, making it a reliable choice for embedded force sensing applications.

Key Features

  • High-precision compression load cell from the trusted TE Connectivity FX29 series.
  • Strain gauge-based sensing principle for accurate and repeatable force measurement.
  • Compact 20mm x 20mm form factor with a minimal 6g weight for space-constrained designs.
  • 4-wire (Kelvin) connection via ribbon cable enables precise resistance measurement and compensation for lead wire effects.
  • Robust performance across a 0°C to 50°C operating range with extended storage capabilities.
  • ESD protection rated from -4.0 kV to +4.0 kV enhances reliability in industrial settings.
  • Low operating current (3 mA typical) for energy-efficient system integration.

Applications

  • Precision force measurement in robotic grippers and end-effectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the excitation voltage requirement for this FX293X load cell?

The FX293X-040B-0050-L load cell can be operated with an excitation voltage up to 5.25V DC. It is designed to be compatible with common 5V microcontroller and data acquisition systems. Always refer to the specific amplifier or signal conditioner datasheet for the recommended drive voltage to ensure optimal performance and avoid exceeding the sensor's maximum rating.

How do I connect the 4-wire ribbon cable from the load cell?

The integrated 4-wire ribbon cable uses a Kelvin (4-wire) connection scheme. This configuration uses two wires for exciting the strain gauge bridge (Excitation+ and Excitation-) and two separate wires for sensing the output signal (Signal+ and Signal-). This method compensates for lead wire resistance, providing more accurate measurements. The cable terminates in a specific connector; mating connector details are available in the TE Connectivity datasheet.

What is the output signal format of this compression load cell?

This is a resistive strain gauge-based load cell. It provides a millivolt-per-volt (mV/V) ratiometric output signal. The actual output voltage is proportional to both the applied load and the excitation voltage supplied to the sensor. A dedicated instrumentation amplifier or load cell amplifier module is required to condition this small differential signal into a usable voltage for microcontrollers or PLCs.

Can this sensor be used for both compression and tension measurements?

No, the FX293X-040B-0050-L is specifically designed as a compression-only load cell. Its mechanical structure is optimized to measure forces applied in one direction, pressing down on the sensing element. Applying tensile (pulling) forces may damage the sensor and will not provide accurate readings. Always ensure the force is applied in the correct orientation as specified in the mechanical drawings.
