Subminiature Tension and Compression Load Cell

The VLU850 General purpose subminiature tension or compression load cell series from Stellar Technology, offers maximum load range from 10lbs to 1k lbs with an accuracy of ±0.5% BFSL. These load cells are designed for applications requiring very small size, very little mass and rugged construction. The VLC856 from Stellar Technology are constructed from all welded stainless steel, with bonded foil strain gauged force sensors which provide reliable performance for demanding applications. Temperature range of −40°F (-40°C) to +250°F (+121.11°C) and each unit has a 5 point calibration record traceable to NIST as standard.
