Force/Torque: 224.8lbf/177lbf-in, 449.6lbf/442.5lbf-in, 1.1Klbf/442.5lbf-in, 2.2Klbf/885lbf-in, 2.2Klbf/4.4Klbf-in
Force/Torque: 1kN/20Nm, 2kN/50Nm, 5kN/50Nm, 10kN/100Nm, 10kN/500Nm

Interface’s 6A68 6-axis load cell measures forces simultaneously in three mutually perpendicular axes and three simultaneous torques about those same axes. Six full bridges provide mV/V output on six 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 36-term coefficient matrix is included for calculating the load and torque values in each axis.An 8-channel amplifier with USB PC interface is also available which simplifies data analysis.
