Force/Torque: 2.2Klbf/8.8Klbf-in, 4.4Klbf/17.7Klbf-in, 112.4Klbf/44.2Klbf-in
Force/Torque: 10kN/1kNm, 20kN/2kNm, 50kN/5kNm

Interface’s 6A175RA 6-axis load cell measures forces simultaneously in three mutually perpendicular axes and three simultaneous torques about those same axes. 12 full bridges provide mV/V output on 12 independent channels. Interface’s 6-axis load cell is ideally suited to many industrial and scientific applications, such as aerospace, robotics, automotive and medical research (orthopedics and biomechanical). A 72-term coefficient matrix is included for calculating the load and torque values in each axis. Interface’s BX8 Amplifiers including BlueDAQ software greatly simplify the data acquisition process.
