The series includes three models \u2014 CTLB1, CTLB2 and CTLB3 \u2014 covering a wide range of capacities from 1 kg up to 5,000 kg (10,000 lb). Models from 50 kg and up are made of fully welded stainless steel for maximum durability and performance.<\/p>\n<h6>Usage conditions<\/h6>\n<p>Each model comes with a shielded 4-conductor cable (1 m or 2 m depending on the range), and optional versions include integrated TEDS chip, amplification, or digital output. These load buttons are ideal for force measurement in applications where space is extremely limited and high reliability is required.<\/p>\n<h6>Possible applications<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>Compression force monitoring in industrial assemblies<\/li>\n<li>Robotics and automation<\/li>\n<li>Tooling and clamping systems<\/li>\n<li>OEM integration in compact force applications<\/li>\n<li>Test rigs and validation labs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><strong>Advantages of choosing this product<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>The CTLB1\u20133 range offers a rugged and precise solution for embedded compression force measurement.
