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.

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?

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.

Model 34 precision miniature load cells measure both tension and compression load forces of 1000 g to 1000 lb. These models are our highest accuracy, rugged miniature load cells. Model 34’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 34 tension/compression load cell has female 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. All load cells with ranges from 1 kg to 10 lb have an electrical balance module in the lead wire (approximately 1 in x .087 in thick). This balance module does not have to be the same temperature as the transducer.

Model 3632 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 compression only loads in capacities of 25K, 50K and 100K lbs. For optimum performance, this load cell must be mounted between load surfaces which are flat and parallel.

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.

The pedal pressure sensor mounts directly to the brake pedal with its own mounting clamp. Load applied up to 1/2 inch off center, produces less than a 0.5% error. Standard capacity is 300 lbs. This load cell, which is used for brake pedal force measurements by the automotive industry, finds many production applications. It adapts to any of the pedal or bar operated devices used in all production facilities.

Model 41 is a low profile “pancake” type load cells. These bonded foil, strain gage load cells are engineered to measure loads from 5 lb to 500,000 lb. The tension/ compression Model 41 is designed with the threaded hole running completely through the center of the cell. Model 41 utilizes two stabilizing diaphragms, which are welded to the sensing member to reduce off-center and side-loading effects. It provides high performance in non-linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability specifications for such applications as tube mills, extruding processes and weighing. Each unit has a welded construction and can be hermetically sealed for added durability. Model 41 load cells are available with optional 0 Vdc to 5 Vdc or 4 mA to 20 mA output.

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 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.

Honeywell’s Model 75 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 lb to 200,000 lbs and achieve a non-linearity of 0.1% full scale. The superior design of these bonded foil, strain gage compression and/or tension load cells permits a fatigue life of 1 billion cycles (zero to full scale).

Model 75 measures tension/compression and must be used on a smooth flat surface to achieve rated specifications. The tension/compression Model 75 is designed with the threaded hole running completely through the center of the cell. Model 75 utilizes two stabilizing diaphragms, which are welded to the sensing member to reduce off-center and side-loading effects.
