Why Choose the Multi-Axis Load Cell MTA600
One sensor for three force axes — reduces footprint, cabling, and alignment errors.
Strong, reliable design — stainless steel construction, solid overload margins, designed for demanding environments.
Low crosstalk & well separated outputs — ensures that Fx, Fy, and Fz signals are distinct and usable.
Flange-to-flange design with through hole — allows structural elements to pass through, simplifying integration.
Support & calibration options — Metromatics can help with calibration, wiring, mounting, and application advice.
Ordering & Configuration Tips

When specifying an MTA600, consider:
Ensure the force ranges you need align with the 2500 / 2500 / 5000 lb specification.
Confirm mounting geometry and ensure your mechanical system can supply clean, aligned loads in all axes.
Plan connector / wiring layout (DB15 female connector by default) and ensure your instrument can support three axes.
Request 5-point compression calibration (standard) or optional tension/compression calibration if needed.
Account for temperature compensation, zero shift, and crosstalk effects in your system design.
