Compact S-Beam Load Cell

Description

The DBCR compact S-beam load cell is suitable for use in both tension and compression and lends itself to a multitude of low-range monitoring, control, test and measurement applications including material testing machines and small suspended hoppers.

The DBCR is a compact version of the classic S-beam load cell design manufactured from aluminium in ranges of 0-10N and 0-20N and 17-4PH stainless steel in ranges from 0-50N to 0-500N and offers a very high accuracy of better than 0.05% of rated capacity.

*The resonant frequency is calculated with the body of the load cell attached to a large plate, ensuring that only the sensing element oscillates: This is vital to achieve the highest natural frequency and subsequent frequency response.
