The small-diameter, cost-efficient load cells are designed to be used in applications that require an ability to mount in an existing system with restricted working area. They are commonly used in fluid power transfer systems. Their low cost and ease of mounting allow simultaneous testing of multi-element systems.
They may be directly attached to the piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder. Side-mounted cable connectors allow cable assemblies to be supported without affecting movement of the cell during tension or compression loading.
These general purpose designs have exceptional structural capability to withstand extraneous loads, such as torque, bending moments, and side loads. Available in capacities of 500 lb to 5000 lb, they offer maximum performance and enhanced accuracy.
Minimum deflection and compactness make these general-purpose load cells easy to install and use.
The Model 3129-121 fatigue-resistant load cells are extremely resistant to extraneous bending and side loading forces. The structure virtually eliminates bending strains at the strain gage, minimizing the primary cause of load cell failure. Dual bridge option available for feedback control and redundancy.
Model UG Ultra Precision Universal load cell achieves scale quality and performance standards.The Model UG achieves ±0.03 % non-linearity with very little deflection (typically .0045 in). It utilizes a four arm strain gage bridge which is bonded and tested for high precision and dependability. Female threads on both ends facilitate mounting in any position for tension, compression, or universal force measurements. Model UG load cells can be used in both static and dynamic applications. Stainless steel construction ensures high reliability.
Model LFH-7I subminiature load cell is a low profile force transducer for applications with minimal space and high capacity requirements. This transducer utilizes foil strain gages to measure compression loads of up to 10,000 lb and achieves accuracy of ±0.7 % full scale. The top of the load cell is the area where the force is applied and the base ring of the load cell must be placed on a hard, machine-ground flat surface to obtain optimum accuracy.
Model 53 load cells are bonded foil strain gage transducers designed for cost efficient production and testing applications (i.e. press calibration). Engineered compression force measurements up to 50K lb., this model achieves a maximum non-linearity of 0.5 % full scale. Precision gaging techniques and a stainless steel construction provides excellent long-term stability and reliability under severe operating conditions. The Model 53 compression-only load cell has an integral load button machined as part of the load cell. The Model 53 must be mounted on a smooth flat surface for proper operation. Three tapped holes are provided for mounting.
Honeywell’s cost-effective, general purpose, carbon steel, pancake load cells offer a compact design that features exceptional structural capability to withstand extraneous loads, such as torque, bending movements and side loads combined with a high degree of accuracy for general purpose applications.
Designed to measure tension/compression, these load cells have enhanced accuracies up to 0.07 % and have measurement ranges from 5 lb up to 100,000 lb. Fatigue-resistant and fatigue-rated models for use with applications with extremely high cycle counts are available. Need special modifications or a custom design?

The Model RGH In-Line load cells are high quality, stainless steel, rugged load cells capable of withstanding significant off-axis loads, making them an ideal choice for in-line compression measurement or tension measurement where side loading cannot be completely controlled. The flexible mounting options make applications easier to implement, and the all stainless steel, hermetic construction is well suited to corrosive and very high humidity environments.
These general purpose designs have exceptional structural capability to withstand extraneous loads, such as torque, bending moments, and side loads. Available in capacities of 25 lb to 300 lb, they offer maximum performance and enhanced accuracy. Minimum deflection and compactness make these general-purpose load cells easy to install and use.
Model 31 low range precision miniature load cells measure both tension and compression load forces of 50 grams to 500 g. These models are our highest accuracy, rugged miniature load cells. Model 31’s welded, stainless steel construction is designed to eliminate or reduce to a minimum, the effects of off-axis loads. (The internal construction assures excellent long-term stability for ranges 1000 grams and above.) A modification permits this model to be completely welded for underwater applications. The Model 31 tension/compression load cell has male threads attachments. High accuracies of 0.15 % to 0.25 % full scale are achieved. Each bonded strain gage unit is built of welded 17-4 PH stainless steel for additional ruggedness.
Model 3336 Tension/Compression Donut Load Cell features a smooth thru-hole design for use in applications which require the load structure to pass through the cell. The hollow load cells are available for tension-compression loads in capacities of 5K, 10K and 20K lbs.
The precision design and manufacture of this versatile transducer style is the result of our experience in the metal working industry and automotive applications.
