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.
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.
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.
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.
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 compact Model MPB Load Cells are designed for applications requiring high capacity yet where space restrictions require that the cell be small in size. The Model MPB will measure compression load forces in ranges between 15,000 to 2,000,000 pounds.
Applications include impact testing and mine shaft roof simulations. The diameter of these load cells range between 1.25 in and 10 in while the height ranges between approximately 0.63 in and 14 in depending on the load range desired.
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.
Model 13 (compression only) subminiature load cell is designed to measure load ranges from 150 g to 1000 lb. With subminiature dimensions, including diameters from 0.38 in to 0.75 in and heights of 0.13 in to 0.25 in, these units are easily incorporated into systems having limited space. Model 13 combines high frequency response and low deflection to achieve a combined non-linearity and hysteresis of 0.25 % to 0.5 % full scale. A balance module is included in the load cell’s lead wire cable for temperature compensation and should not be removed.
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 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.
Designed for general purpose use in demanding applications in automotive, aerospace, and military applications. Some advantages of these tension/compression load cells include compact size, high accuracy, and cost efficiency. The 3140-P has smaller maximum off-center load and moment error than the standard 3140 Series.
