<ISTLER measure, analyze, innovate. Strain Gage Load Cellfor Tensile and Compression Forces,0 ... 0,1 kN up to 0 ... 10 kN Load cells for tension and compression Type 4578A... can be used in the laboratory and in industrial environments. • Measuring ranges from 0 ... 0,1 kN to 0 ... 10 kN • Measuring accuracy better than 0,20 %FSO • Stainless steel construction • Simple mounting Description Strain gages are applied to the flexural diaphragms in the load cell are strain gages (DMS) 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 4578A... . 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 ... 100 N to 0 ... 10 kN. Applications The standardized rated sensitivity and ease of mounting allow simple retrofitting of existing structures with the load cell. Depending on the particular requirements, static, quasistatic and dynamic tensile and compression forces can be measured. Type 4578A...
