Miniature FKB load cells with high accuracy and very small dimensions are used where compressive forces need to be measured and the installation space is very small. These measuring cells are designed in a column shape, with the force being introduced centrally. Our load cells are made of stainless steel and have protection class IP67 . Inside the cells there is a metal spring body that deforms under pressure. When the force is released, the spring body returns to its original position. A strain gauge on the spring body converts the deformation into electrical impulses.
