The TH series force transducers are ideal for systems that measure tension or compression force in industrial applications, where accuracy and reliability are important, even in harsh environments. The disposition of the (8) strain gauges of the measurement bridges uses the deformation produced by the shear force of the applied load. It is thus possible to make accurate force transducers that are rugged and insensitive to lateral loads. The transducer is machined from a solid block of stainless steel and contains no welds or joints. The electrical circuit is protected by sealed formed stainless steel plates.
