Overview

Designed for automotive comfort testing, the FN7080 series gear stick load cell is installed in place of the original gear knob on the gear stick and measures the force required to change gear.
FN7080 series gear stick load cell

Force is measured either in two or three directions. An adapter coupled with an interface collar allows a simple and rapid fitting of the FN7080 gear stick load cell to the majority of vehicles. The ease of mounting enables the FN7080 to be used on a vehicle or on a test bench. An optional version provides direct high level output and makes the FN7080 load cell a favorite among European car builders. TE Connectivity (TE) has many years of experience as a designer and manufacturer of sensing solutions to the automotive industry and can supply standard or custom sensors for specific uses and testing environments. On request, instruction documents can be provided to ease the selection and use of our sensors and provide helpful tips.
