It features a nominal output of 2.2 mV\/V and an optional rationalised output of 2.0 mV\/V \u00b10.1 %. With a non-linearity of just 0.05 % RL, and low hysteresis and creep values, the ALF241 ensures stable and reliable force readings in demanding conditions.<\/p>\n<h6>Usage conditions<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>Operating temperature range: -10 \u00b0C to +80 \u00b0C<\/li>\n<li>Compensated temperature range: -10 \u00b0C to +50 \u00b0C<\/li>\n<li>Safe overload up to 120 %, ultimate overload up to 200 % RL<\/li>\n<li>Dynamic loading capacity: up to 70 % RL<\/li>\n<li>Constructed in aluminium with multiple mounting options<\/li>\n<li>Available with a 2 m screened PVC cable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>Possible applications<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>Process weighing systems<\/li>\n<li>Low-range force testing benches<\/li>\n<li>Precision mechanical assemblies<\/li>\n<li>OEM machinery<\/li>\n<li>Engineering test setups<\/li>\n<li>Automation and robotics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>Advantages of choosing this product<\/h6>\n<p>The ALF241 excels in environments where compact design, high repeatability, and ease of integration are essential. Its flexure strain geometry and axial compensation provide excellent resilience to off-axis loading errors. Optional features such as overload protection and rationalised output improve safety and ease of system integration.<\/p>\n<h6>Other important features<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>Rated loads: 30 N, 50 N, 100 N, 300 N<\/li>\n<li>High repeatability: \u00b10.02 % RL<\/li>\n<li>Stiffness up to 1.5 x 10\u2076 N\/m<\/li>\n<li>Bridge resistance: 350 \u2126<\/li>\n<li>Multiple configurations: compression (button or thread), tension, bi-directional<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6 id=\"technical-specifications-title\">Technical Specifications<\/h6>\n<div class=\"rounded border border-gray-line\/20 overflow-hidden\">\n<table class=\"!my-0\">\n<thead class=\"sr-only\">\n<tr>\n<th>Specification<\/th>\n<th>Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Measurement ranges<\/th>\n<td>30 N, 50 N, 100 N, 300 N<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Rated output (nominal)<\/th>\n<td>2.2 mV\/V<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Rated output (rationalised)<\/th>\n<td>2.0 mV\/V \u00b10.1 % RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Non-linearity<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.05 % RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Hysteresis<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.05 % RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Creep (20 min)<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.05 % AL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Repeatability<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.02 % RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Zero load output<\/th>\n<td>\u00b14 % RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Temperature effect on output<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.002 % AL\/K<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Temperature effect on zero<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.005 % RL\/K<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Operating temperature range<\/th>\n<td>-10 \u00b0C to +80 \u00b0C<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Compensated temperature range<\/th>\n<td>-10 \u00b0C to +50 \u00b0C<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Supply voltage<\/th>\n<td>10 VDC (recommended and max)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Bridge resistance<\/th>\n<td>350 \u2126<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Insulation resistance<\/th>\n<td>Min. 500 M\u2126 at 50 VDC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Safe overload<\/th>\n<td>120 % RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Ultimate overload<\/th>\n<td>200 % RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Dynamic loading capacity<\/th>\n<td>70 % RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Material<\/th>\n<td>Aluminium<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Cable<\/th>\n<td>2 m PVC, 4-core screened<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Weight<\/th>\n<td>Approx. 240\u2013260 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Compact and accurate micro load cell for low-range force measurements in both tension and compression applications.
