Sherborne Sensors SS5 Series Precision Load Cells - 1

SS5 Ultra Low Force Load Cell Basepoint Enterprise Centre, Stroudley Road, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG24 8UP, United Kingdom Tel :- +44 (0) 870 444 0728 Fax :- +44 (0) 870 444 0729 email :- sales@sherbornesensors.com website :- www.sherbornesensors.com Data sheet SS5 - Iss 2.doc Gram range, Hi-precision Force Transducer The SS5 load cell has been designed for applications where precision measurement of extremely low forces is required. The SS5 is a derivation of the SS2-3 series with higher overload capability. It is based upon bonded semi-conductor strain gauge technology, conferring excellent sensitivity and eliminating the fragility associated with unbonded strain gauge types. The transducer is designed for measuring compressive forces and features excellent immunity to the effects of eccentric loading, side loading and bending moments. The ultra-low deflection and consequent high frequency response ensures that the unit is suitable for measuring peak and transient forces. The transducer will replace the well known UC2 and UC3 range of load cells, originally marketed by Gould-Statham®, who stopped production in the 1980’s. There are many applications for this range of load cells in medical applications, research and development and industry. Specifications Outline Dimensions Notes 1.
