2530 Series Low Force Static Load Cells

Product catalog summary
Overview
Instron load cells are integral components of materials testing systems, uniquely designed and manufactured by Instron to meet specific testing requirements. These include high accuracy, stiffness, resistance to offset loads, and excellent zero stability.

Compatibility and Design
The 2530-xxxN Series load cells are compatible with 6800, 3400, 5900, and 3300 testing systems. They feature automatic transducer recognition and electrical calibration for ease of use. The load cells can withstand loads up to 150% of their capacity without damage and 300% without mechanical failure.

Principle of Operation
The load cells operate using a full strain gauge bridge bonded to a linear elastic element. They are capable of measuring forces in tension, compression, cyclic, and reverse stress, with a wide measurement range that reduces the need for frequent load cell changes.

Features and Benefits
  • Force capacities range from ±5 to ±100 N.
  • Suitable for various test types.
  • Accurate measurements down to 1/500th of load cell capacity.
  • Automatic recognition and calibration for error-free operation.
  • Overload protection and tare weight capability up to 40% of force capacity.
  • Compliance with international standards such as ASTM E4, ISO 7500-1, and JIS B7721, B7733.


Specifications
The load cells are available in different capacities with specific mechanical fittings and dimensions. They maintain high linearity, repeatability, and minimal hysteresis and creep. They are temperature compensated and compatible with various Instron frame series.

General Performance
  • Linearity and repeatability within ±0.25% of reading.
  • Hysteresis and creep within ±0.1% of reading.
  • Maximum tare weight is 40% of force capacity.
  • Overload capacity up to 300% without mechanical failure.
  • Temperature effects on zero and sensitivity are minimal.

2530 Series Low Force Static Load Cells-1

2530 SERIES STATIC LOAD CELLS Low-Force 5 -100 N Instron® load cells are a key part of a materials testing system. Among our competitors, Instron is the only global materials testing supplier that designs and manufactures its own load cells. This ensures that Instron load cells meet the unique requirements of materials testing such as; high accuracy over a wide measurement range, high stiffness, resistance to offset loads, accurate alignment and excellent zero stability. The 2530-xxxN Series load cells are specifically designed for use with 6800, 3400, 5900, and 3300 testing systems. The design, manufacture, and performance verification is conducted with materials testing applications in mind. Automatic transducer recognition and electrical calibration makes them easy to use. The load cells incorporate overload protection and can withstand loads up to 150% of their force capacity without damage and 300% without mechanical failure. The load cells allow the user to zero out the tare weight of a grip or fixture that weighs up to 40% of the force capacity, while still maintaining the full specified accuracy. All Instron load cells are individually temperature-compensated and tested for accuracy and repeatability on calibration apparatus that is traceable to international standards, with a measurement uncertainty that does not exceed one-third of the permissible error of the load cell. Instron Low Force 2530-xxxN Series load cells are precision force transducers consisting of a full strain gauge bridge bonded to a stiff and highly linear elastic element. When the element is subjected to a force, the electrical resistance of the gauges changes, providing an output signal proportional to the applied force. • Force capacities from ±5 - ±100 N (0.5 – 10 kgf, 1.12 – 22.5 lbf) • Suitable for a range of test types, including tension, compression, cyclic, and reverse stress • Accurate measurements down to 1/500th of load cell capacity means fewer load cells and fewer load cell changes. • Automatic recognition with electronic serial number and electrical calibration allows for simple, error-free operation • Integral overload protection reduces the possibility of damage during handling and use • Tare weight 40% of force capacity – can be used with a wide range of grips and fixtures • Complies with all international force measurement standards, including ASTM E4, ISO 7500-1 class 0.5, and JIS B7721, B7733 The load cells are designed to operate in tension, compression, cyclic and reverse stress. They have a wide measurement range allowing accurate force measurements to be made down to 1/500th of the load cells capacity, reducing the need to ch
