3500 – Standard Tension and Compression Load Cell

The 3500 Standard Tension and Compression Load Cells are designed to meet the general purpose market for high precision measurements. With an impressive Full Scale (FS) capacity range of 500 lbf – 200,000 lbf across the series and an accuracy of ≤ 0.25% FS the load cells are fully ready to meet the challenges of your next project. The strain gauge measurement technology ensures high accuracy, repeatability, and reliability throughout the life of the product. Threaded features in the load cell and load cell base allow for directing the compressive and tensile forces through the shear web design, eliminating the potential for eccentric loading conditions during use. Alternative geometries, capacities, and connector styles available upon request.
