Thread, shoulder and envelope
Both interface genders, pitch, engagement depth, body dimensions and cable clearance.
IN-LINE TENSION & COMPRESSION
Measure force.
Keep the
load path.
Precision inline load cells for actuator rods, robotic tendons and instrumented test linkages. Define the thread interface, force range and signal as one engineering decision.

A sensor and conditioner.
One measurement chain.
Request the load cell with a paired USB, RS485, CANopen or analog conditioning kit. Define N or lbf scaling, calibration points and controller requirements together.

REPLACEMENT & INTEGRATION
Bring the original drawing.
Compare the complete interface.
FUTEK or Honeywell replacement requests need more than a matching capacity. Thread pitch, axial stack, bridge excitation and pinout belong in the same review.
Load, stiffness and environment
Working and peak force, tension/compression direction, duty cycle and temperature.
Bridge to controller
Excitation, sensitivity, connector, output scaling and response-time requirements.
