Key Features
Only 0.75 in diameter with a 0.5 in low profile — fits where larger cells cannot.
Linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability combined into a single high-accuracy spec.
Spherical-radius load button integrated for fast, repeatable installation.
Stainless construction and a high-quality strain gage for long-term industrial reliability.
0/50/100/50/0%% traceable calibration plus 59 kohm shunt data included with every cell.
1.5 m (5 ft) 4-conductor shielded cable with on-board temperature compensation.
