Request a released outline with revision, OD, installed height, button radius, base support, cable exit and mounting requirements. Confirm 17-4PH material and any requested hardness or material record as order deliverables.
Agree force points, loading and unloading sequence, excitation, readout, environment, uncertainty statement and traceability chain. A paired kit record must identify both sensor and conditioner.
Set the sample acceptance criteria before comparing prototype results. Record deviations and freeze the approved configuration. Agree lot identification, inspection records and notification for changes affecting the measurement chain.

Talk through your force path ↗
Include preload, normal compression peaks and credible overloads. Select a range that resolves the minimum force of interest while leaving mechanical margin, and add a fixture overload stop.
Kilograms describe mass. Use kgf when expressing force: 1 kgf = 9.80665 N. The tables show N, kgf and lbf together; dimensions and ratings remain model-specific.
Send the complete original model, drawing revision, capacity and electronics details. We review mechanical and electrical interfaces and agree a sample correlation test before compatibility is confirmed.
No. Cable, sensor body and amplifier ratings are separate. Request a +150°C or +200°C sensing configuration with the actual thermal conditions and agreed zero/span limits.
A bare mV/V bridge normally needs a compatible conditioner. Specify an MT-AMP-KIT with 0–10V, 4–20mA or an agreed RS485 interface, plus system calibration and force mapping.
Send OD × height, peak force and output. We’ll start with the fit.
