New In-Line Load Cell Works in Compression, Tension


The New Model RG load cell from Sensotec is a compression/tension In-Line load cell capable of withstanding significant torque and off-axis loads. This versatile unit exhibits only .003" full scale deflection and is ideal for in-line applications where side loading cannot be completely controlled.

The RG Series is available for ranges from 2,000 to 50,000 lbs. and can be configured with integral male and/or female threads. Excitation up to 15 VDC or AC is acceptable and standard output is 2 mV/V. Combined linearity and hysteresis is ±0.25% over an operating temperature from -65° to 250° F. Optional outputs include 0-5 VDC and 4-20 mA, and a variety of tongue shackles, yoke shackles and rod end bearings are available.

Designed for rugged use, the stainless steel Model RG is fully welded, hermetically sealed, and has a 50% overload capacity rating. This design is featured in a variety of applications including monitoring of cable tension and actuator forces, and parts retrieval from deep well or offshore platforms.
