PTC-1 Stainless Steel Low Profile Universal Load Cell

Description

The PTC-1 series of load cells are based on the conventional low profile or pancake load cell principle. The internal construction is a diaphragm design, offering a lower cost solution to conventional shear web designs, while still offering high natural frequency, low deflection and excellent resistance to side and torsion forces. The PTC-1 is constructed from stainless steel to give excellent corrosion protection. There is an optional mounting base available, which is required if the load cell is to be used in tension. The mounting base is also constructed from stainless steel.

The standard load cell is supplied with an integral cable and the facility to attach protective hose or conduit. It is ideally suited to many testing applications where high stability and low height are essential requirements. The PTC-1 can be supplied calibrated as a complete ready-to-go system. Also available is a range of associated instrumentation.

Please consult our sales department for any technical advice required on this product or the interfacing with our instrumentation.

STA-1 S-Type Tension and Compression Load Cell

Description

The STA-1 series load cell is ideal for measuring both tensile and compressive forces. The standard metric threads at each end of the load cell are designed to accept standard spherical seating rod-end bearings.

The STA-1 is suitable for many applications where a tension and compression load cell is required for high accuracy measurements. Applications such as vessel weighing, material test machines and dynamometers are a few examples.

The STA-1 series can be supplied on it's own or combined with our extensive range of instrumentation to provide a complete load monitoring system.

Features

•  Aluminium alloy construction
•  Can be supplied complete with mating spherical rod-end bearings
•  Environmentally sealed to IP66
•  From 50kgs to 300kg
