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.
The X-Y force sensor is constructed of two strain gage bridges, mounted at 90º, isolated by a flexure system. The complete two-component system, including flexures, is machined from one specially prepared metal billet to provide unusual structure strength and to minimize crosstalk between the two transducers. This unique sensor has excellent linearity characteristics and maximum structure life.
Honeywell’s Model 73 load cells are engineered for applications such as materials or product fatigue testing, which involve an extremely large number of cycles or occasional overload conditions. These fatigue rated load cells have load ranges from 50 lbs to 200,000 lbs and achieve a non-linearity of 0.1% full scale. The superior design of these bonded foil, strain gage compression load cells permits a fatigue life of 1 billion cycles (zero to full scale). Model 73 measures compression only. It must be used on a smooth flat surface to achieve rated specifications. The load button on Model 73 is an integral part of the load cell and cannot be removed or changed. Model 73 utilizes two stabilizing diaphragms, which are welded to the sensing member to reduce off-center and side-loading effects.

The Model D Donut Shaped Load Cell features a smooth thru-hole design often ideal for applications which require the load structure to pass directly through the cell. Such applications include bolt force measurements, clamping forces, and monitoring overloads. Load ranges as low as 150 grams and as great as 30,000 pounds can be measured within a maximum full scale non-linearity and hysteresis of ±0.5 % F.S., respectively. These models are used in compression applications and are available in multiple hole and frame sizes. For optimum performance, these cells must be mounted between load surfaces which are flat and parallel. The Model D miniature load cell is designed to have a minimum thickness.
The Model LC digital force indicator is a highly portable force measurement device. With its 9 V battery supply and compact size the indicator can easily be carried to remote locations to perform force measurement calibrations. The unit can measure compression forces up to 50,000 lbs.
The peak capture feature allows the highest force reading taken to be displayed with the push of a button. The remote location of the load sensor minimizes the chance of damage to the electronic body of the gauge. The stainless steel construction of the sensor and the indicator makes them often resistant to the occasional mishandling than can occur in the field. Optional handles are available for the load cell and gauge.
Each unit has a membrane face with raised buttons and tactile feedback for setup and operation. The high, low, and clear buttons are easily accessible on this front membrane. Zero adjustment and zero offset/tare functions are standard on each unit. Calibration and setup parameters are stored on a memory chip to protect from loss even when power is interrupted. Unauthorized set ups and calibrations are also blocked with internal security. Various combinations of the front panel buttons can be de-activated.
