6-Axis

The AMTI Model AD2.5D General Purpose 6-Axis Force & Torque Transducer is a compact, multicomponent strain gauge sensor engineered to deliver precise, simultaneous measurements of forces and moments. Featuring a highly efficient, space-saving 2.5 x 2.5 inch (64 x 64 mm) cylindrical footprint, this specialised 6-axis load cell measures structural loads along the X, Y, and Z axes, along with the concurrent moments around those axes. It is highly used across the UK for aviation control surface testing, biomechanics research, and structural dynamics setups where forces continuously change direction and position over time. 

Manufactured from a single piece of high-strength aluminium alloy, the [AD2.5D incorporates a patented four-element strain gauge core. This architecture yields exceptional mechanical stiffness, high measurement sensitivity, and excellent long-term calibration stability.

The AMTI Model MC3A Compact General Purpose 6-Axis Force & Torque Transducer is a rugged yet compact 6 axis load engineered specifically for the precise, simultaneous measurement of multi-directional force vectors. Measuring within a tight 3 x 3 x 3 inch (76 x 76 x 76 mm) structural cube geometry, the MC3A maps three orthogonal force components and three independent moment paths along the X, Y, and Z axes. It stands as the premier choice across the UK for advanced robotics R&D, human engineering and ergonomics profiling, industrial production processes, component structural dynamics, and experimental biomechanics research. 

Manufactured as an ultra-stiff, solid sensing block from a premium high-strength aluminium alloy, the MC3A features an advanced anodized surface finish to protect its exterior from industrial surface corrosion. The physical mounting layout incorporates convenient threaded inserts on its top surface paired with secure through-holes on its bottom surface to function as direct machine attachment points.

The AMTI Model SF3 Submersible 6-Axis Force & Torque Transducer is a specialised strain gauge sensor engineered specifically to measure forces and moments concurrently in underwater environments. Serving as the waterproofed variant of AMTI’s popular MC3A series, the SF3 resolves multi-directional forces that shift amplitude over time under high hydrostatic pressures. It is the premier choice across the UK for marine technology research, ocean engineering test towing tanks, underwater robotic arm validation, subsea structure model profiling, and offshore energy test rigs.

Manufactured with a compact, ultra-rigid 3-inch (76.2mm) cubed body from heat-treated stainless steel, the SF3 is fully hermetically sealed to an IP68 protection class. To endure underwater pressure gradients without signal shifting or casing deformation, the transducer's internal cavity is completely filled with high-grade mineral oil. This configuration incorporates a proprietary internal pressure compensation bladder that continuously reacts to higher and lower external fluid density shifts, establishing a permanent zero-pressure difference across the internal strain gauge matrix. As a result, the sensor is formally rated for complete submersion in fresh water at depths of up to 70 metres for one continuous week.

The Me-Systeme 6A Series Multi-Axis Force & Torque Load Cell is a high-performance 6 axis load cell operating as a unified, space-saving measurement system, this 6-axis sensor maps three perpendicular forces alongside three concurrent rotational moments. The engineering architecture of the 6A Series incorporates six independent, fully temperature-compensated strain gauge bridges that broadcast raw outputs across six independent channels. It is highly used across the UK for automated robotic tool-flange feedback, biomechanical orthopaedic research gait tracking, aerospace wind tunnel balance profiling, and dynamic automotive structural testing.

Because multi-axis loading triggers natural complex stresses within large structures, each sensor relies on a supplied 36 coefficient calibration matrix to maintain an exceptionally tight crosstalk specification of just ±1% typical. Offered in 10+ distinct structural sizes, standard alloy configurations feature robust IP67 environmental sealing, while specialised IP68 hermetically sealed, fully submersible variations can be custom-ordered to withstand dynamic ocean wave-tank testing or deep subsea applications.

The Me-Systeme Model F6D100-50 600N/60Nm 6-Axis Robotic Force & Torque Sensor is a heavy-duty, highly rigid multi-component transducer engineered specifically for high-capacity force and moment measurement in industrial robotics and automated manufacturing cells. It is heavily utilized for collaborative robot arm force monitoring, industrial robotic grinding, automated part assembly, heavy material lifting cells, and haptic feedback system profiling.

Featuring internal tapped holes on the exact same pitch circle, the sensor bolts directly between the robot's mechanical wrist flange and the end-of-arm tooling (EOAT). This design keeps the vertical stack height down to an exceptionally flat 50 mm and minimizes system payload restrictions. Unlike its digital sibling (the F6D100-50e), the standard F6D100-50 provides a raw, non-amplified analogue voltage output via an integrated 24-pole connection plug to stream data into external processing instrumentation.

The Me-Systeme Model K6D55I 6-Axis Force and Torque Sensor is a state-of-the-art, lightweight multi-component transducer engineered to solve complex force measurement challenges in advanced robotics and medical technology. It is widely specified for medical surgical robotics, collaborative robot arm force monitoring, haptic collision detection systems, and precise multi-axis lab validations

Thanks to the powerful integrated EtherCAT P measuring amplifier with a 4-wire cable suitable for drag chains, this sensor enables ultra-fast data communication. This combination offers a space-saving and lightweight measuring system. This new sensor system saves you time and energy by making installation quicker and easier, but also eliminates the need for time-consuming connection and cabling work. Capacities include 50N/5Nm 100N/10Nm 200N/ 20Nm 500N/25Nm 1000N/25Nm.
