Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The Burster 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
- Measuring Ranges: 0 ... 5 N to 0 ... 2 kN (0 ... 1.1 lbs to 0 ... 449.6 lbs)
- Accuracy: Non-linearity up to ±0.03% F.S. available
- Temperature Effects: On zero output ≤ 0.01% F.S./K, on nominal sensitivity ≤ 0.02% F.S./K
- Electrical: Sensitivity nominal 1.0 mV/V, bridge resistance 350 Ω
- Environmental: Operating temperature range -30 °C to +90 °C
- Mechanical: Maximum operating force 150% of full scale, overload burst > 200%

Installation and Design
The sensor is designed for easy installation with two mounting holes and can measure forces in both tension and compression directions. It is made from high-strength aluminum or stainless steel and offers overload protection with minimal effort.

Applications
Suitable for dosing systems, tension force measurement for wire or thread winders, cable force, and pull-off force reviews.

Options and Accessories
- Standardization: Available at 1.0 mV/V
- Connectors: Various options including 9 and 12 pin connectors
- Calibration: Factory calibration certificates available, with options for special calibration to customer specifications

Additional Resources
Product brochures, CAD data, and instructional videos are available on the Burster website.

Standardized nominal sensitivity burster TEDS Applications Dosing system Tension force measurement for wire or thread winders Cable force Review of pull-off forces Product description Measuring direction Easy installation 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

Electrical termination Output signal 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.
