Tension and Compression Load Cell - S Type

Tension and Compression Load Cell - S Type
SKU
MST-S20

Capacity ranges

  • 5kN
  • 10kN
  • 20kN
  • 50kN

Applications

Test machines, calibration of test machines both in tension and compression, load measurement for process control, measuring the load applied in presses, small tanks and silos, hanging scales.

Design Features

The standard design incorporates a design in the form of a letter S which is suitable for both tension and compression forces, metric threads are standard, UNF threads are available, negating the need for extra plates.

High accuracy throughout the range of 0.05% rated output. The S20 model is manufactured in stainless steel and the design incorporates a welded seal to IP68 making it suitable for the toughest environment conditions. Model range of four capacities offering 5kN through to 50kN

Calibration

These load cells can be supplied with a factory works calibration certificate traceable to national standards or a UKAS or NPL calibration certificate. They can also be supplied tested and ready for calibration by the customers preferred test laboratory.

Options
