Overview
Mark-10 MR03-1 Tension and Compression Force Sensor
The Mark-10 MR03-1 Tension and Compression Force Sensor is a compact smart sensor designed for reliable force measurement in inline testing and a wide range of industrial applications. Its threaded mounting holes on two sides provide flexible attachment options for hooks, fixtures, and other implements, making it well suited for applications where the sensor must be incorporated directly into a test setup.
The MR03-1 uses Mark-10 Plug & Test® technology to communicate with compatible Mark-10 indicators. Sensor configuration and calibration information are associated with the sensor, simplifying setup when the sensor is connected to a compatible indicator. The indicator is sold separately.
Flexible Inline Force Measurement
With mounting provisions on both sides of the sensor, the MR03-1 can be integrated into inline force testing arrangements where tension or compression loads must be measured through a mechanical test path. The threaded connections accommodate a variety of hooks and implements for adapting the sensor to different test requirements.
Accurate Tension and Compression Testing
The MR03-1 provides an accuracy of ±0.15% of full scale plus the connected indicator. This makes it suitable for professional force measurement applications where repeatable and dependable tension and compression readings are required.
Plug & Test® Compatibility
Plug & Test® technology allows the MR03-1 to be used with compatible Mark-10 indicators without requiring a conventional sensor setup process. A combined certificate for the sensor and indicator can also be ordered using part number CERT-SI when certification is required for a testing or quality-control application.
The MR03-1 combines compact construction, flexible mounting, and intelligent integration with Mark-10 instrumentation for practical force measurement in production, quality assurance, laboratory, and inline testing environments.
