Strain gauge load cells, force sensors for high tensile and compression forces, Fz max 20 to 500 kN / 4579A

Strain gauges are applied to the flexural diaphragms in the load cell and deliver a bridge output voltage directly proportional to the measurand during concentric load application. The force being measured must be applied to the thread along the central axis of the Type 4579A load cells. A force distributing cap or an adapter for the particular application must be used for this purpose, and introduction of shear or torsion avoided. Lateral forces within ±2,5° of the perpendicular force may be neglected. Higher lateral forces must be kept away from the load cell through design measures as shown in the articulated mounting configurations. The strain gage load cell is available for seven different measuring ranges from 0 … 20 kN to 0 … 500 kN.
