SS4000M Series

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The SS4000M Series is a miniature universal load cell designed for both tension and compression applications, particularly useful in limited space environments. It features a full bridge of strain gauges bonded to a high-strength aluminum alloy or stainless steel transducer element, depending on the force range. The design includes side load and bending moment compensation, ensuring high accuracy despite its small size. OEM versions are available for high-volume applications.

Features

Available in ranges from ±10N (2.25 lb) to ±500N (112 lb).
Compact size: only 35mm (1.38”) high.
Incorporates bending moment and side load compensation.
100% tested with individual calibration certificates.
High stiffness and low deflection under load.
Optional male rod end bearings available.

Applications

Materials testing.
Bi-directional force monitoring.
General in-line force monitoring in limited space applications.

SS4000M Series Miniature Universal Load Cell Introduction The U4000M ultra miniature load cell is equally suitable for tension or compression applications and is especially useful where space is limited. The internal construction consists of a full bridge of transducer quality strain gauges that are bonded to the transducer element. This element is manufactured from high strength aluminium alloy or stainless steel, depending upon the force range. The design incorporates side load and bending moment rejection; despite its small size the transducer is highly accurate. Specially optimised OEM versions of the load cell are available for high volume applications.
