Load Button Seeks Compression-Only Apps

Offered for compression-only applications where space is limited, the LBC series of load buttons (load cells) span a capacity ranges of from 100 through to 50,000 lb. The load cells can be held in place by cap screws from the top or can be ordered with tapped bottom holes. Combined error of hysteresis and non-linearity is less than 0.2% FS, and non-repeatability is 0.1% FS. Output is 2 mV/V nominal via a full wheat stone strain gauge bridge. The load cells are certificate traceable to NIST.
