5.2.2. Overload Capacity
The FT 300-Ssensors have overload capacities, the overload capacity specification includes load and torque values in all 3 axes.
Info
For loads between the measuring range and the overload capacity, the signal will be saturated. The sensor will not
undergo permanent damage if the overload capacity is not reached.
Warning
Exceeding the overload capacity will permanently damage the sensor.
