The small-diameter, cost-efficient, fatigue-resistant 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 Model RGF 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 Model 3127 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.

Model RF, with female 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
