Metric Universal Load Cells

Metric Universal Load Cells

Metric Universal Load Cells are simply Universal Load Cells designed for tension/compression force measurements, with the difference being they are designed to interface with metric loading rods/hardware and they are calibrated in SI units.

Use the Hold Down & Loading Bolt Preload Torque Values chart to understand the exact tightening force required to secure a sensor to its mounting base.

Learn about the importance of spacers to prevent the loosening of hold down bolts in Metric Universal load cells.

Features

The structures of the metric universal load cells are simple and compact, consisting of an inner loading hub and an outer supporting flange bridged smoothly by a uniformly continuous solid shear web avoiding structural stress risers. Strainsert gages are installed and sealed inside small gage holes along the neutral axis of the web.

Low deflection and high natural frequency of the load cell are obtained, along with high resistance to extraneous forces. Mechanical and dynamic properties of load cells are fully tabulated.

Linearity and symmetry of output signal in tension and compression are obtained by equal straining of all shear gages in the bridge circuit of the Load Cell®.

See general load cell page for general product information and specifications.
