FUTEK is a firm believer in sharing our knowledge. Knowing how much our customers depend on our expertise, we have often relayed our experience and knowledge on our website. In the coming months, we like to assure you that our commitment to providing these solutions is only getting bigger.

Recently, FUTEK began developing online solution sections for our individual Sensor families. Our intention for this endeavor is to provide our customers with all the necessary support essentials from choosing a sensor to maintaining their system. We began with our Miniature Load Cell Line then moved onto our USB Sensors and now we are releasing our S-Beam Load Cell Section.

The S-Beam Online Solution Section showcases all the unique features of the series, highlighting the qualities that make this line a perfect fit for In-Line test measurement applications. In a concise and comprehensive overview, this supportive document outlines the family’s uses, capacities, OEM capabilities, submersible alternatives, and overload protection [on selective models].

But this section isn’t all words. FUTEK goes further to offer example applications and illustrations. Here you can see the many ways our customers have uniquely adapted the S-Beam models into their many fields. Whether it’s medical, aerospace or automation, the LSB Series is known for performing endurance testing where high accuracy, compact design, and robust construction are needed.

As the title of this piece states, knowledge is power, and for those who seek information on sensors, we hope you put this into great use.

This summer marks the second annual Sensors + Test Trade Show that FUTEK will participate in Nurnberg, Germany. The three-day international trade show is a convention forum for sensor design and manufacturing companies to rally together and share their product lines. Known as the “most comprehensive and state-of-the-art” tradeshow in the test and measurement industry, participants not only will display their products, but also practice innovative system and solution applications. This makes the Sensors + Test Trade Show a great platform for FUTEK to showcase its advancements over the past year, especially in conjunction with our advanced USB Technology and Miniature Load Cells.

With hundreds of businesses in attendance from dozens of countries, FUTEK hopes to build a stronger relationship with our partners oversea. We look forward to seeing their latest designs and their advancements in the test and measurement industry.

We welcome you to visit our FUTEK booth this upcoming June from the 7th to the 9th. You can receive free access to this event by signing up here: Order Free Tickets

FUTEK understands that your applications have fast approaching deadlines, and we wanted to inform you that all of our rotary torque models are in stock and awaiting your application. So whether your application calls for a Rotary Drive Sensor, Rotary Hex Sensor, or Rotary Shaft Sensor, rest with ease knowing that your project timeline can remain the same.

The field of Musculoskeletal Testing or Biomechanics often utilize Force Sensor (aka Load Cells) to gain a greater understanding in the dynamic variables affecting balance, posture, and neuromuscular control of spinal load. As the illustration shows, a S Beam Type Load Cells can be mounted onto a flat surface where a cable or steel string is connected at the top of the sensor. The other end of the cable is assembled to a hip or any free moving bone structure that is mounted for movement. As the bone is moved a tensile force is applied on the S Beam Load Cell. In such a setup, the S Beam Load Cell can be connected to a Digital Display or PC where the measurements can be recorded.
