Applications
Test machines, calibration of test machines both in tension and compression, load measurement for process control, measuring the load applied in presses.
Design Features
The standard design incorporates a pancake style compression load cell which can be easily adapted for measuring tension forces by fitting the mounting plate. A pair of platens using spherical seating to ensure accurate measurement of miss-aligned loads in compression.
Calibration
These load cells can be supplied with a factory works calibration certificate traceable to national standards or a UKAS/NPL calibration certificate. They can also be supplied tested and ready for calibration by the customers preferred test laboratory.
