Compression Load Washer Load Cells

The MIN845 miniature compression load washer from Stellar Technology offers maximum load ranges from 2.5k lbs to 200k lbs with an accuracy of ±2% BFSL. These miniature through-hole configurations are often used for measuring tension on fasteners. Constructed of stainless steel, these bonded foil strain gauge force sensors are available in a wide selection of both standard and special outside/inside diameters. The MIN845 series from Stellar Technology can be used with Stellar Technology’s selection of in-line and DIN rail mount signal conditioners to provide current or voltage outputs.
