Customer manufactures test equipment for material properties analysis. The instruments measure dimensional changes under various thermal and force inputs, for determination of thermal coefficient of expansion and other mechanical properties. Accurate force and displacement measurements are critical.
The Challenge
In need of a highly stable, custom load cell to be placed securely in a high heat environment while subjected to input forces.
The SMD Solution
Strain Measurement Devices produced a custom S251 model load cell that is smaller than the standard device, to fit in a limited available space. Overload Protection: Strain Measurement Devices has designed an overload feature that prevents the load cell from deflection beyond it’s 200% maximum limit. This design allows the customer to develop operating procedures with the confidence that their instrument will survive well beyond it’s warranty specification.
Engineered as a load cells & force solution for the industrial & automation market.
