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.

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.

Model RH, with male and 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.

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.

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.

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 Model RGM 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.
