Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides technical specifications and guidelines for the RLU Tension/Compression Load Cell, a universal load cell used to convert load or force into an electrical signal. It emphasizes the importance of mounting the load cell on a hard, flat surface and selecting an appropriate range to avoid exceeding its capacity.

Specifications: The load cell operates with an excitation/supply range of 0 to 15V, calibrated at 10V, and outputs 2mV/V ±10%. It features a zero balance of 2% F.S., bridge resistance of 350/700 Ohms, and a linearity error, hysteresis, and repeatability of ±0.03% F.S. The resolution is infinite, with temperature coefficients of ±0.001% F.S./°F. The operating temperature range is -4°F to 140°F, with a compensated range of 14°F to 104°F. It has an ingress protection rating of IP65 and an over-range capacity of 50%.

Construction and Dimensions: The load cell is primarily constructed from steel and includes a 9.8ft integral cable for electrical termination. Various models are available, each with specific dimensions and capacities, ranging from ±250kgf to ±10000kgf.

Model RLU Tension/Compression Load Cell (Universal Load Cell)-1

Load Model RLU Tension/Compression Load Cell (Universal Load Cell) ● ● ● Very high accuracy Infinite resolution Low cost A load cell or force sensor is a device which converts load or force into an electrical signal. A load cell should be mounted on a hard, flat surface. Tension/compression load cells measure the force applied to the centre threads of the load cell. Care should be taken to ensure that the load sensor is not exposed to load or force in excess of its capability. The range of tension/compression load cell (universal load cell) selected should therefore be appropriate for the maximum force (including transient forces) that can be applied to it. This series of transducer is a strain gauge type transducer and has a mV output which may require an amplifier. We can offer a variety of high quality, low noise and high precision strain gauge amplifiers.
