Miniature Tension or Compression Load Cell-Series MIN840
A US Manufacturer of: Pressure, Temperature, Load/ Force/Torque, and Displacement Sensors.
ISO 9001/AS9100 Certified The Series MIN840 load cells are 0.15% accuracy force transducers designed for tension and/or compression applications requiring a compact-sized configuration.
Constructed of welded stainless steel, these bonded foil strain gaged force sensors provide reliable performance for a wide range of demanding application environments. The MIN840 comes in a variety of mounting configurations. With additional height dimensions, these units come with internal modules which provide high level analog or digital outputs. Additional features include shock and vibration protection. MIN840 load cells are ideal for applications in component testing, shop floor automation, and robotics. Each unit is shipped with a 5 point calibration record traceable
to NIST as standard.
