Due to their measuring range, their reliability and the various possibilities of use these miniature load cells can not only be used in the industry but in the laboratories as well. They are very well suited for compression measurements in very restricted structures. The load cells are of a compact construction and made of superrefined steel and can therefore be used in many fields of industry, like i. e.

	press-in force measurements at longitudinal and transversal connections
	compression force measurements at punch and roller appliances
	spring tension measurements at shock absorbers for cars
	contact pressure determination in a push rod
	compression force measurements at toggle lever press

Description

The force to be measured is led central centric and transversal force-free across the rounded top - in form of a little hat - into the load cell.
Strain gauges arranged in a full bridge circuit are applicated on the generated surface of the sensor. By applying force to the strain gauge bridge the resistance change of the gauges is transformed into an output voltage which is directly proportional to the measured quantity.
The load cells have to be mounted on a smooth, plane parallel surface. They can be fixed on it with contact adhesive. To receive a measurement accuracy neither transversal nor lateral forces have to penetrate the load cell.
Clamp forces acting laterally on the load cell have to be avoided. During the installation or the mounting you have to take care that the cable outlet and the cable of the load cell are not stressed by tension and bending forces.
The output signal of the connecting plug is 1,5 mV/V, so that a parallel connection or an exchange can easily be done.
