Stainless Steel Miniature Compression LOAD CELL CDFM3 Series-1

Stainless Steel Miniature Compression LOAD CELL Integral Load Button Robust Construction Options Available Non-Standard sizes available on request Other ranges available on request Special mounting adaptors available on request Shunt Calibration Facility Different temperature compensation ranges The CDFM3 range of low profile miniature load cells is designed for the measurement of compressive forces. The CDFM3 is equally suited for both Force Measurement and Weighing applications alike. It's compact size means that it can be fitted into small space envelopes and is often retro-fitted, while the M3 threads in it's base make fixing the load cell in position a simple task. The small physical size has made it very attractive in many industrial process measurement applications for monitoring or control purposes. It is equally suited and performs well in a wide range different research and development applications. The CDFM3, as with all other Applied Measurements sensors, can be supplied complete with monitoring/control electronics and calibrated as a system (please refer to the Instrumentation datasheets).
