FUTEK Sensor Reliability - Progress Update 1 Billion and 78,000,000 Cycles

This post was written by Ehsan Mokhberi who is the Business Development Manager for Futek. He discusses Futek Sensor's product reliability and their meticulous testing procedures to produce quality sensor products that last.  For more information about Futek's product line in Australia & New Zealand, please contact Metromatics on +61 7 3868 4255 or sales@metromatics.com.au
Application Note 142 - Product reliability is an essential aspect of overall product quality. Therefore, we test. And test again. And in our case, we tested for almost 15 years straight.
If you've ever visited our headquarters, you might have noticed a compressed air test stand in our lobby. Well, that test stand has been going strong since 2001 performing a fatigue-test on our LSB302 S-Beam Load Cell.
Why? Well, for two reasons. First, as a testament toward our reputation of being one of the highest quality sensor manufacturers. Secondly, to see how well our load cell would perform if overloaded to 113% of its rated output.
The LSB302 model that we chose for this quality assurance test has a capacity of 100lb. We've been loading it at 113 lb. Learn more here.
