About this manual

The MTA400 is a tri‑axial force sensor offered by Futek. It measures tension (FX) and compression (FY, FZ) with separate output channels and is supplied with a 10‑pin LEMO receptacle.

The sheet lists electrical ratings such as a 1.5 mV nominal output for the FX channel, 0.75 mV for FZ, and a maximum excitation voltage of 18 V (DC or AC). Mechanical specifications include a capacity of 500 lb for the FZ channel, safe overload of 150 % of rated output, and a compensated temperature range of 60 °F to 160 °F (15 °C to 72 °C). Accessories such as a 10‑ft poly cable are also noted.
