Load Cells

Load Cells measure force in compression or tension in many laboratory soil testing applications. These “S” type cells come with a four-wire connection cable and have load capacities ranging from 500 to 20,000lbf. They are machined of stainless steel or nickel alloy plated steel, with threaded mounting holes on top and bottom of the load cells. These units output values to a two or four-channel Data Readout, available separately.

Models ranging in capacity from 500 to 2,000lbf come with 1/2inx20tpi threaded mounting holes. 5,000 and 10,000lbf load cells are equipped with 3/4inx16tpi threaded mounting holes, while the 20,000lbf device has 1.25inx12tpi mounting holes.
