The F321 gear shift loadcell measures gear lever forces required to achieve gear selection.
An ergonomically designed gear knob senses the force from a human hand or a mechanical actuator. The three axis force components are represented by three pure loadcell output signals. The gear shift loadcell is supplied calibrated and ready to use, no in-situ calibration or mathematical computation is required.
Easy fitment is achieved with mechanical axis referencing and simple attachment to a male thread or adapter.
The gear shift loadcell, like all our automotive products, can be produced for environmental test chamber temperature requirements of -40 to 80°C.
We are happy to design variants of this loadcell to meet your specific requirements. Please consult our engineering department.
