Low Profile Tension and Compression Load Cell | DSCRC

Category: Tags: ,

Description

Applied Measurements DSCRC low profile tension and compression load cell/pancake load cell is manufactured from stainless steel and is suitable for use in weighing and force measurement applications.  They can operate in both tension and compression and are commonly used in materials testing and component fatigue testing applications for axial force measurements where a high accuracy, low-profile device is required.

The high-frequency response of our DSCRC low profile tension and compression load cell also make them ideal for dynamic force and load measurement applications.   The high-speed analogue SGA amplifier is an ideal complement to the DSCRC, offering a conditioned signal output of 4-20mA, ±5Vdc or ±10Vdc with a bandwidth of up to 6kHz.

As with all our load cells, the DSCRC low profile tension and compression load cell design can be modified to suit your exact requirements, with alternative threads, custom dimensions and customer-specific capacities.
