Product Description
TCM375 miniature threaded inline load cell overview
The TCM375 is a compact, 17-4PH stainless steel miniature inline load cell with M16x2 male threads on both the active and fixed ends, designed to measure tension and compression forces in mechanical systems where a traditional load cell simply won't fit. Rather than mounting alongside a structure, the TCM375 threads directly into the load path itself, replacing a bolt, rod end, or structural connector, making it the practical choice when space, packaging, and ease of integration matter more than laboratory-grade accuracy. Available in a single ±45 kN capacity, it is well suited for applications like automotive suspension testing, robotics force feedback, actuator load monitoring, and embedded machine sensing where the sensor needs to disappear into the mechanism. It is a direct improved-accuracy drop-in replacement for the FUTEK FSH04084 (±45 kN).

Technical notes
|
Installation and alignment
The TCM375 requires precise axial alignment between its two threaded connection points. Off-axis or side loading will degrade accuracy and may cause fatigue damage to the compact sensing element. Threaded rods or adapters must be engaged a minimum of one full thread diameter into each male thread to ensure structural integrity. Apply torque only at the hex body of the load cell using an open-end wrench, never through the sensing element. For best results, use swivel rod ends or spherical bearings to allow self-alignment under load. |
System integration
The TCM375 operates at a rated excitation of 10V DC/AC (15V max) and produces a 2 mV/V analog output signal via a shielded 4-conductor 28 AWG integrated cable (3 ft / 1 m). It is compatible with any standard force indicator, DAQ system, or PLC analog input accepting a mV/V bridge signal. The shielded cable minimizes noise pickup in electrically demanding industrial and test environments. It is a verified improved-accuracy drop-in replacement for the FUTEK FSH04084 (±45 kN). |
