RS PRO introduces the RS PRO compression and tension load cell. This load cell is made from stainless steel to ensure durability and long life for your product. This compression load cell was designed by RS PRO with the ability to measure both compression force and pull force. This load cell has been designed to be a miniature load cell with the highest accuracy with a welded, stainless steel rugged construction to eliminate or reduce to a minimum the effects of off-axis loads.

Load cells are transducers that transform a force, for example, tension, compression or torque into an electrical signal, this is then measured and standardised. Load cells come in a variety of types from S-type, shear beam, strain gauge, beam and compression load cells. Compression and tension load cells are specially designed to be easily incorporated into systems with limited space. Load cells are used in a variety of applications including:

• Automotive press-fit


• Automated assembly


• 3C products testing


• New energy product assembly


• Medical testing


• Hopper Scales


• Weighing Scales


• Mold assembly


• Industrial testing


• Insertion Force test instruments
