Replacements for FMS UMGZ Series Load Cells

DFE manufactures reliable, high-performance alternatives to FMS UPB-type load cells that provide higher sensitivity and a longer 5 year warranty.

Model F Series tension transducers are the industry standard in semiconductor strain gage under pillow-block web tension load cells. Available in two block sizes, these rugged and refined transducers provide a wide range of load ratings from 100 to 7,500 lbs. All DFE load cells are backed by a 5 year warranty.

Model F transducers are great alternatives to FMS UMGZ series load cells in the following configurations:
