Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The Model 8511 is a bending beam tension and compression load cell designed for precise force measurement. It utilizes a double bending beam with strain gages to generate a proportional output voltage when force is applied. The sensor is protected by a rubber bellows and is easy to mount using two holes.
Specifications: The load cell offers measuring ranges from 0 to 5 N up to 0 to 2 kN (0 to 1.1 lbs up to 0 to 449.6 lbs). It features high linearity and can be customized upon request. Non-linearity options are available up to ±0.03% F.S.
Technical Data: The load cell has a nominal sensitivity of 1.0 mV/V or 1.5 mV/V, with a bridge resistance of 350 Ω. It operates within a temperature range of -30 °C to +90 °C and has a protection class of IP54. The maximum operating force is 150% of full scale, with an overload burst capacity of over 200%.
Applications: Suitable for dosing systems, tension force measurement for wire or thread winders, cable force, and pull-off force reviews.
Installation: The sensor is mounted using two screws, with specific torque requirements depending on the screw size. It is designed to minimize lateral forces and moments for high-quality measurements.
Calibration: The sensor comes with a test and calibration certificate, with options for factory calibration in both compression and tension directions. Calibration certificates with accreditation symbols are available for enhanced traceability and international recognition.
Accessories: Various connectors and mobile measuring devices are available, including options for TEDS integration for easy sensor exchange and maximum accuracy.
Additional Resources: Brochures, product videos, and CAD data are available for download on the manufacturer's website.

Delivery: ex stock | Warranty: 24 months Bending Beam Tension and Compression Load Cell ■ Measuring ranges from 0 ... 5 N up to 0 ... 2 kN, ■ Special design upon request ■ Standardized nominal sensitivity ■ Tension force measurement for wire or thread winders ■ Review of pull-off forces The measuring element of the load cell consists of a double bending beam on which strain gages are applied. The applied force detunes the measuring bridge so that a proportional output voltage is generated. The strain gages on the measuring element are protected against dirt and water spray by a rubber bellows. The sensor can be easily mounted via two mounting holes. The tension or compression force to be measured is introduced at the opposite end perpendicular to the sensor axis. Due to its special design, the influence by an extension (e.g. touch finger) on the measuring signal is low. Overload protection can be realized with little effort using a mechanical stop. burster Sensors and Process Instruments - Technical changes reserved. All data sheets at www.burster.com

burster load cells are based on a strain-gage Wheatstone bridge. This measurement principle means that the output voltage mV/V is highly dependent on the sensor supply voltage. Our website contains details of suitable instrumentation amplifiers, indicator and display devices and process instruments. The "burster Transducer Electronic Data Sheet" (TEDS) is a memory in which identification data of the sensor, calibration data and other sensor parameters are saved. In conjunction with your own suitable burster device, there is the option of performing a simple adjustment in order to achieve the...
