Multi-Axis Load Cell MTA600

TheMulti-Axis Load Cell MTA600  is a robust Triaxial Load Cell engineered to simultaneously measure forces in three orthogonal axes (Fx, Fy, Fz). With a stainless steel body, high overload safety, low crosstalk, and flange-to-flange configuration, it’s ideal for demanding aerospace, wind tunnel, dynamometer, and multi-component force measurement applications.

Key Features & Benefits of the Multi-Axis Load Cell MTA600

  • Simultaneous 3-Axis Force Sensing — captures Fx, Fy, and Fz measurements in a single sensor, simplifying your system design.

  • High Capacities — rated for Fx and Fy at 2,500 lb each, and Fz at 5,000 lb.

  • Safe Overload Margin — 150 % of rated output on all axes to guard against transient loads.

  • Solid Accuracy & Repeatability

    • Nonlinearity ±0.5 % RO

    • Hysteresis ±0.5 % RO

    • Nonrepeatability ±0.2 % RO

  • Electrical Characteristics

    • Rated Output: ~1.50 mV/V (Fx, Fy) and ~0.75 mV/V (Fz)

    • Input / Bridge Resistance: 350 Ω for Fx, Fy; 700 Ω for Fz

    • Insulation Resistance ≥ 500 MΩ at 50 VDC

  • Mechanical & Dimensional Details

    • Flange-to-flange through hole design; inner diameter 1.72 in (≈ 43.7 mm)

    • Outer diameter 4.98 in (≈ 126.5 mm); height 3.5 in (≈ 88.9 mm)

    • Weight ~8 lb (≈ 3.6 kg)

    • Material: 17-4 PH stainless steel

    • IP Rating: IP40 (standard)

  • Temperature Range & Stability

    • Operating: 0 to 160 °F (≈ –17 to +71 °C)

    • Compensated: 60 to 160 °F (≈ 15 to 72 °C)

    • Temperature shift (zero/span): ±0.02 %/°F


Typical Applications of the Multi-Axis Load Cell MTA600

  • Wind tunnel models: lift, drag, side force measurement

  • Aircraft / flight control test benches

  • Triaxial dynamometer systems

  • Robotic actuator reaction and multi-axis load measurement

  • Multi-component force sensing in test rigs, structural systems, or aerospace research


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

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

When specifying an MTA600, consider:

  1. Ensure the force ranges you need align with the 2500 / 2500 / 5000 lb specification.

  2. Confirm mounting geometry and ensure your mechanical system can supply clean, aligned loads in all axes.

  3. Plan connector / wiring layout (DB15 female connector by default) and ensure your instrument can support three axes.

  4. Request 5-point compression calibration (standard) or optional tension/compression calibration if needed.

  5. Account for temperature compensation, zero shift, and crosstalk effects in your system design.
