Product outline
Safe overload of 500% ! Miniature tension/compression load cell.
- Capacity 1 N/ 2 N/ 5 N/ 10 N/ 20 N/ 50 N
- Ultra-compact size: 11W × 14H × 4D mm
- Safe overload rating of 500% !!
- Suitable for measurement of thread tension and plunger force for needle and syringe.
Very compact
Space-saving design. Ideal for side-by-side installation too.
Easy to install
Two tapped holes at both hands enable easier connections to the actuator.

Great durability
Load cell frequently gets damaged especially in small force measurement, and cable is easily broken.
Safe overload of 500%! Using high durability robot cable!
