Miniature In-Line Load Cell | Tension and Compression | DDE

Category: Tags: ,

Description

Applied Measurements DDE miniature in-line load cell is suitable for use in both tension and compression and offers a very low profile body coupled with integral mounting threads to allow use in applications with restricted mounting space where other in-line load cell designs such as S-Beam load cells are too large.

The DDE’s small size means that weight is kept to a minimum, this, in conjunction with its low deflection, results in a high stiffness assembly and makes the load cell suited to the measurement of fast changes in load and high-frequency transients.

The DDE miniature in-line load cell is currently being used in many applications including automotive production, cable tension monitoring and suspension force monitoring.  Customised versions with different thread sizes, specific dimensions and interim capacity can also be provided if required.

Feature

  • Capacities: 0-100N up to 0-50kN
  • Output: 2mV/V
  • Environmental Protection: IP65
  • Accuracy: <±0.30%/RC
  • Low Profile Design
  • Low Profile & Integral Mounting Threads Make it Ideal to use in Small Spaces
  • Designed for Both Tension and Compression Monitoring
  • Customisation Available to Suit Your Application
  • Excellent at Monitoring Fast Changes Thanks to its Low Deflection
