Performance highlights AILC3, AILC4, AILC5 in line load cell

The AILC3, AILC4 & AILC5 are miniature in line load cells that provide precise tensile and compressive force measurements up to 50 kN (or 10 klbf). They use strain gauge technology and are temperature compensated to ensure consistent performance, with a typical rated output of 2 mV/V and non-linearity better than ±0.5%.

Usage conditions

These sensors are built for rugged conditions, with an operating temperature range of -20 °C to +80 °C and IP64 environmental protection. They are suitable for integration into compact mechanical systems or test setups where inline force measurement is required.

Possible applications
  • Inline tension/compression monitoring
  • Actuator and cylinder force testing
  • Mechanical component testing in R&D
  • Material fatigue and life cycle analysis
  • Embedded sensor solutions in test benches
  • Monitoring of pressing, clamping, or pulling forces

Advantages of choosing this product

These threaded load cells offer ease of integration thanks to standardized metric or unified thread options. Their small form factor and nominal deflection of 0.04–0.08 mm support high-precision measurements in constrained spaces. For plug-and-play installation, a TEDS chip (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) is optionally available.

Other important features
  • Nominal deflection: 0.04 mm to 0.08 mm
  • Available in metric (kN) or imperial (lbf) versions
  • Shielded cable (3 meters) included
  • Braided 4-core wiring (28 AWG)
  • Bridge resistance: 350 Ω
  • Excitation: 5 V or 10 V DC
