Model 53 Compression Load Cell

Stainless steel

Infinite resolution

Miniature

Our SLC53 load cell or force sensor is a device which converts load or force into an electrical signal. The SLC53 load cell should be mounted on a hard, flat surface. Our SLC53 compression load cell measures the force applied to the load button.
Care should be taken to ensure that the model SLC53 load sensor is not exposed to load or force in excess of its capability. The range of model SLC53 compression load cell selected should therefore be appropriate for the maximum force (including transient forces) that can be applied to it.
The SLC53 transducer is a strain gauge type transducer and has a mV output which may require an amplifier. For the SLC53 we can offer a variety of high quality, low noise and high precision strain gauge amplifiers.
