When precision and easy installation are required various configurations allow the loadcell to be used in both tensile and compressive applications.<\/p>\n<p>We are happy to design variants of this loadcell to meet your specific requirements. Versions can be manufactured for higher temperature operation. Please consult our engineering department.<\/p>\n<p>Geometry: Flexure strain assembly in cylindrical housing, open or weather sealed with end internal fixing. For universal use in tension and compression, with compensation for off axis load inputs.<\/p>\n<h6>Additional Features ALF245\u00a0Miniature Force Sensor<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>Compact axial geometry<\/li>\n<li>Standard 2 year warranty<\/li>\n<li>Traceable calibration with certificate<\/li>\n<li>Included in the standard price<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Standard ranges up to 200N have an aluminium body and stainless steel case.
