Unmatched Load Cell Technology
Capacitive, Piezo, And More
The universal mechanical tester MFT-3000 has a wide range of patented load cells providing unparalleled stability and resolution. The wide load range extends from nN to 3,000 N with easy interchangeable load cells.
Capacitive Load Cells
Highest resolution load cells with rigid design
Strain Gauge Load Cells
Sensors with widest load range
Piezo Load Cells
Highest resolution load cells with high frequency response

Environmental Chambers
The friction coefficient and wear highly depend on environmental conditions. Therefore, tests should occur in conditions close to real application. MFT-3000 has a wide range of options (high temperature, corrosion, cooling, inert gas) available on the tribometer. Contact us for more application specific information.
