Teaching Force Transducer (0-500g)

Overview:

The MLTF500/ST Force Transducer is a low-cost strain force gauge based force transducer, suitable for measuring muscle contractions or similar forces such as in isolated tissue-organ bath experiments in teaching applications.  It can be used to measure isometric forces from 0 to 500 g. The transducer operates such that when force is applied to the transducer, it causes the strain-gauge elements to change resistance, and hence produce a change in signal voltage.

The transducer connects directly to a DIN input of PowerLab or Pod expander. It is recognized in LabChart v7 or later. The support rod of the transducer can be easily switched around to suit different mounting orientation of different micropositioners.
