The miniature load cells of this type are of a sturdy construction and made of stainless steel. They have small dimensions and can therefore be used in various fields of industry and in the laboratories. The load cells are easy to handle and enable a relatively uncomplicated installation. Because of their small dimensions they are well-suited for the use in very restricted structures for both static and dynamic measurements.
As measuring element you can apply these load cells in:

	fully automatic production centres
	measuring and controlling equipment
	precision mechanics
	tool manufacturing
	apparatus engineering etc.

Description

The miniature load cell type 8415 is a flat cylindrical disc, its bottom is closed with a cover. The load button is integrated in the load cell.
A full bridge circuit is applicated on the measuring element. By applying force to it, the resistance change of the gauges is transformed into an output voltage which is directly proportional to the measured quantity.
The small measured working section of the load cell causes a high constancy. The force to be measured has to be introduced in a centric and transversal force-free way. The load cells have to be mounted on a smooth, plane parallel surface.
