Combine FTCS miniature force transducer + TRFO RS485L converter, and accelerate your test performance!

9 reasons to choose TRFO RS485L over other strain-gauge converters :

1 Wide range of communication options 12 versions (RS485, CANopen, DeviceNet, CC-Link, Profibus DP, Modbus/TCP, Ethernet TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, Profinet IO, EtherCAT, PowerLink, Sercos III)
2 Excellent readability LED display, 6 8 mm digits
3 Very high precision < 0.01% full scale
4 Exceptional sensitivity +/-30 mV/V
5 Configurable analog output 16 bit: 0/4-20 mA; 0-5/10 V; ±5/10 V
6 Wide operating temperature range -20 °C +60 °C
7 Large measurement capacity Up to 8 sensors (350 Ω)
8 Compact & practical Compact design (115 x 25 x 120 mm), removable screw terminals, standard DIN rail mounting
9 Laboratory calibration Each module is calibrated in our metrology laboratory (whose standards are linked to national standards).

 

In a world where every micrometer and millinewton counts, our FTCS M5 miniature force transducer is a powerful engineering solution to transform your mechanical constraints into reliable, usable data. It's the ideal instrument for research into mechanical characterization, the validation of resistance thresholds, the fine control of gripping forces

Equipped with a standard metric thread in M5 (also available in M3), this sensor is easy to install on a wide range of devices, and offers a host of advantages:

  • Robustness: fully made with APX4, designed for demanding industrial environments
  • Internal S-shape to go very low in relation to the measurement range
  • Powerful despite its size: able to withstand significant efforts (10 / 20 / 50 /100 / 200 N)
  • Versatile: high performance in in both tension and compression
  • Compact and miniature 36mm long, 10mm outside diameter
  • Guarantee for precision : ±1%
  • Thermally resistant operational use from -30°C to 70°C
  • ⚠️ Crucial point : This transducer only supports centered loads. Any misalignment will compromise accuracy and may cause damage. Consult us for expert mounting advice.

However, there's no point in equipping yourself with this type of state-of-the-art sensor if you don't ensure a high level of optimum data transmission!

For exploit the full potential of the FTCS sensor, we recommend the’pairing with TRFO RS485L converter. This gauge bridge converter will provide an excellent interface between your mechanical measurements (force, but also torque or pressure) and electrical signals that can be used by all industrial standards.

Don't underestimate the’the importance of this converter, which is just as crucial in terms of reliability, accuracy, durability and ease of data processing. than the sensor itself.

In the demanding world of industrial measurement, the TRFO RS485L stands out as a revolutionary piece of equipment, combining technical precision with exceptional operational versatility.

 
The combination of FTCS sensor and TRFO RS485L converter creates a powerful synergy:

  • Ultra-precise force/torque/pressure measurements in confined spaces
  • Fast, reliable data transmission over long distances
  • Easy integration into existing automation systems

Investing in the FTCS + TRFO RS485L duo means opting for a state-of-the-art, end-to-end measurement solution, capable of meeting the most stringent requirements of modern industry.
