At just 4 x 5mm, the QLA414 is the smallest tension and compression force sensor of its kind, built for surgical robotics, laparoscopic graspers, haptic feedback systems, and catheter assemblies where space and accuracy are equally critical.

Its thru-hole design and M1 threaded double-sided mounting allow direct integration onto tubes, wires, or shafts with minimal redesign. Laser-welded construction with non-active interconnect packaging ensures reliability in demanding surgical environments.

Features: 

• M1 threaded double-sided mounting provisions
• 1000 Ohm full-bridge side load (off axis or extraneous loads) compensated instrumentation
• Laser-welded construction
• Environmental protection
• ±0.5% nonlinearity of rated output (RO) in 5lb and 10lb capacities
• Up to 300% safe overload
• Tension and compression force sensor
• Ultra-low deflection (0.0002” [0.005 mm])
• High natural frequency response
