3400 – Submersible Force Tension Link

Our submersible tension link load cells stand as the premier offering for those who require high accuracy measurements in marine environments. Each unit of the standard product line is machined from 17-4 stainless steel and designed to reach depths of up to 3,500 feet. Both ends of the product are sized to fit common shackles (not included) to quickly attach and detach during use. Full Scale (FS) capacities for the load cells range from 1,000 lbf to 200,000 lbf with a combined error of ≤ 0.25% FS, preserving our dedication to highly accurate measurements in the lab and in the field. We can adjust the standard designs and capacities to match your specific requirements. Our submersible tension links are rugged and designed to get you the measurements you need both above and below the waves.
