Honeywell / Model 3140 / Low Profile/Pancake Style – Carbon Steel/Aluminum
Model RM, with male threads, is a high output rod end load cell designed to be mounted inline to the load axis to measure tension. The outputs for these load cells are ±5 Vdc or 10 Vdc, or
4 mA to 20 mA (two wire) all calibrated in tension. The mounting thread configurations and the all welded stainless steel construction make these tension load cells ideal for a variety of rugged field applications as well as in the laboratory.
The optional high output signal offers resistance to electrical noise as well as additional signal resolution. Additional options include an internal buffered shunt calibration circuit for ease of setup with an associated indicator, and a variety of thread selections, including metric sizes.
The Model 3140-CS load cell series has been designed as a reference standard for calibration labs in automotive, aerospace, military or industrial markets. These tension/compression load cells can be used when accuracy is a high priority requirement. Some advantages of these load cells are: compact size, high accuracy and availability.
Model TH Donut Shaped Load Cell features a smooth thru-hole design for use in applications which require the load structure to pass through the cell. Such applications include bolt force measurement, post or leg mount, and rolling mill systems. Load ranges as low as 15,000 pounds and as great as 200,000 pounds can be measured within a maximum full scale non-linearity of ±0.25. This model is used in compression applications. For optimum performance, this load cell must be mounted between load surfaces which are flat and parallel. The Model TH Donut Shaped Load Cell is designed to provide the customer with an internal hole diameter which is large relative to the outside diameter. The Model TH is a small size, high capacity load cell.
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.
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.
The Model 3130-131 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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
