Compression Load Cell with Amplifier | DSCC + SGA

High Speed, Conditioned Analogue Output for Your Compression Monitoring

Applied Measurements DSCC compression load cell with amplifier gives you high stability, high speed, conditioned analogue output for your strain gauge compression measuring.  The SGA strain gauge amplifier is supplied fully-wired and UKAS traceable calibrated with the DSCC compression load cell.

The SGA strain gauge amplifier converts the DSCC load cell’s low-level input signal into a stable, high-level industry-standard process signal which can be selected from 0-5Vdc, 0-10Vdc, 4-20mA, 0-20mA, ±5Vdc or ±10Vdc.

The Applied Measurements DSCC pancake load cell has an IP65 dust-tight and splashproof protection as standard but can be increased to IP67 to match the SGA strain gauge amplifier’s existing IP67 protection for harsher environments.

Thanks to the DSCC compression load cell’s high-frequency response and the strain gauge amplifier’s high speed, this compression load cell with amplifier is an ideal system for dynamic force and load measurement applications such as crash test walls.  Plus, the DSCC can be used in both tension and compression and can be supplied with rod ends and load buttons if required.

The DSCC compression load cell utilises a symmetrical shear sensing design and central threaded through-hole mean that bending, off-axis, side-load/shear load and torsion-induced errors are kept to a minimum.

Applied Measurements DSCC compression load cell can be completely customised with alternative threads, custom dimensions, counter-bored mounting holes, protection ratings of IP67 and IP68 submersible and higher capacities in excess of 5000kN possible.

Need a higher capacity compression load cell? See our high accuracy column compression load cell or any other of Applied Measurements strain gauge load cells of your choice, all of which are compatible with the SGA strain gauge amplifier.
