Inline 3-Axis Load Cell MTA250

The inline triaxial load cell MTA250 is engineered to measure Fx, Fy, and Fz forces within a compact form factor. Its low profile, connectorized design, and 300% safe overload rating make it ideal for embedded applications, robotics, haptic systems, and small multi-axis test setups.

Key Features & Benefits of the Inline 3-Axis Load Cell MTA250

  • True 3-Axis Sensing — simultaneously capture force components in the X, Y, and Z axes with a single sensor.

  • High Overload Safety — 300% safe overload of rated output ensures durability in demanding use cases.

  • Compact & Inline Form — height 2.55 in (≈ 64.8 mm) × diameter 1.33 in (≈ 33.8 mm), with M4 × 0.7 threads.

  • Connectorized Design — uses 4-pin micro receptacles; simplifies cable routing and system integration.

  • Low Weight & Material — constructed from 2024-T4 aluminum for lightweight mechanical performance.

  • Repeatable & Accurate — good linearity, hysteresis, and nonrepeatability (see specs section).

Typical Applications of the Inline 3-Axis Load Cell MTA250

  • Embedded multi-axis sensing in robotics, haptics, or control systems

  • Force measurement in small test rigs or actuators

  • Dynamics or stability testing where Fx, Fy, Fz must be tracked simultaneously

  • Compact instrumentation where minimal size and axial measurement are critical

  • OEM systems needing a 3-axis “all-in-one” force sensor


Why Choose the Inline 3-Axis Load Cell MTA250

  • Compact and robust 3-axis design in an inline form factor

  • Strong overload tolerance for real-world use

  • Connectorized integration reduces wiring complexity in systems

  • Accurate multi-axis output in a single sensor saves space and cost

  • Support & calibration options — assistance in setting up axes, zeroing, calibration, and system integration


Ordering & Configuration Tips

If you would like to learn more about this product, please contact us.

  • Confirm which variant / sensitivity / calibration you will stock (Fx, Fy, Fz ±10 lb is typical)

  • Ensure correct threading (M4 × 0.7) for your mounting design

  • Consider your wiring / connector layout — the 4-pin micro receptacle must be compatible with your cabling scheme

  • Request calibration certificate or custom calibration (tension/compression) if needed

  • Design your system to minimize off-axis loads, align axes carefully, and provide proper mounting flats
