With subminiature dimensions, including diameters from .50 in to 0.75 in and height of 0.38 in, these units are easily incorporated into systems having limited space. The model achieves a non-linearity and hysteresis of 0.5 % full scale respectively and a frequency response of up to 58 kHz. A balance module is included in the load cell\u2019s lead wire cable for zero balance, and should not be removed.<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"technical-specifications-title\">Technical Specifications<\/h6>\n<div
