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).

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
