MC3-SSUDW-100 is a six-component force sensor produced by AMTI company, which features a stainless steel body and an oil-filled pressure compensation bladder to enable short-term (<24 hours) continuous submersion in fresh water.
The MC3-SSUDW series from AMTI provides six‑component force measurement (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz) in a stainless‑steel housing with an oil‑filled pressure‑compensation bladder, allowing short‑term (<24 h) submersion in fresh water. Variants are offered for 100 N, 250 N, 500 N and 1000 N force capacities.
Key performance data include metric capacities, sensitivities, temperature range, stiffness, and bridge resistances. Technical drawings of the footprint and electrical connections are provided, and an output calculator is referenced for resolution determination.
