A threaded or flange attachment provides a positive load path for bidirectional measurement. The smooth-bore compression architecture alone cannot transfer an applied tensile load.

Dimensions above convert to mm in the reference. $260–$480 indicative bare-sensor range; MOQ one. Confirm the selected drawing, interface, calibration and dispatch in your quote.
TF transfers force through threads. TS uses an end-face load path.
MT-THL-TF
Internal thread for positive tension/compression transfer. Request M6–M36 or imperial threads; supplied baseline covers M12×1.75 to M24×2. Specify full pitch, engagement, load sign and any preload.
Honeywell Model 41 is a relevant threaded low-profile review direction.
MT-THL-TS
Smooth central passage with a flange, stud or end-face attachment. Define bolt-circle dimensions, fastener engagement and the positive tensile load path. Stud adapter availability is confirmed with the drawing.
FUTEK LTH400 and Transducer Techniques THD remain compression-donut references; they are not TF equivalents.

MT-THL-TF-M12–M24TF internal threads, M12×1.75 to M24×2; bore value is nominal thread diameter, not a smooth pass-through. TS flange variant is separately specified.

LOAD INTRODUCTION / KEEP THE COVER CLEAR
Load the active ring. Support the outer ring.
The relieved cover protects the strain-gauge region. A washer must bear on the designated land without touching the cover or connecting the moving load to the fixed support.
Mounting review targets
Contact surface ≥40 HRC; flatness ≤0.01 mm. Matched washer option targets HRC 48 and ≤0.005 mm flatness. Confirm parallelism, loading-land diameters and installed stack height.
Raised hub steps and recess depth are specified on the selected drawing. Factory electrical pairing does not remove the need to assess force shunts, support flexibility or installed preload.
Indicative mV/V bare-sensor range. MOQ one for prototype review.
02 / LOAD INTERFACE
+$25 / pair
HRC 48 ground parallel load washers, with loading-land geometry matched to the selected sensor.
03 / CONDITIONING
+$145 standard option
Factory paired USB or standard PLC module. Confirm the exact interface and calibration scope.
Illustrative configuration: $340 sensor + $25 washer pair + $145 standard conditioner = $510/set. Multi-channel, EtherCAT and special environmental options are quoted separately.
Volume quote bands: 1–4 prototypes; 5–19 pieces with a target 15% reduction; 20–49 pieces with a target 25% reduction; 50+ annual OEM agreement. Eligible ID/OD modifications target $0 NRE; new elastic-body designs require a separate review. Final pricing and dispatch appear in the formal quotation.
Check the actual clearance, runout and thermal range. Nominal inch conversion alone does not establish an assembly fit.
Are washers and paired conditioning included?
Choose the +$25 washer pair and +$145 standard conditioner options in your brief. The quote confirms the selected load interface, signal and calibration scope.
What establishes replacement compatibility?
The original part number and revision, dimensions, loading faces, bridge resistance, excitation, pinout and calibration must match the accepted replacement specification.
