Bending beam load cell 8511

Load bending beam - 8511 The measuring element of the load cell consists of a double bending beam on which strain gages are applied. The applied force detunes the measuring bridge so that a proportional output voltage is generated. The strain gages on the measuring element are protected against dirt and water spray by a rubber bellows. The sensor can be easily mounted via two mounting holes. The tension or compression force to be measured is introduced at the opposite end perpendicular to the sensor axis. Due to its special design, the influence by an extension (e.g. touch finger) on the measuring signal is low. Overload protection can be realized with little effort using a mechanical stop. FEATURES For tension and compression forces Measuring ranges from 0 ... 5 N to 0 ... 2 kN Relative non-linearity: ≤ ±0.1 % F.S. Very low mounting height Simple force application Material aluminium or stainless steel Special design on request burster TEDS optionally available
