Overview
The MCC compression force sensor measures compression forces up to 500N in a compact size, with an accuracy of 0.1% of full scale. Force is applied via a slightly spherical 6.4 mm diameter load button. The full-scale output signal is 2.2 mV/V, and overload protection is 150%.
Specifications

The MCC compression sensor is made of aluminium, with an operating temperature range of -55 to +90°C. A 1.5 m long, 4-wire (28 AWG) shielded cable is provided for sensor supply (1-12 VDC) and output signal (unamplified). Installation is done using 2 screws.
