3700 – High Capacity Tension and Compression Load Cell

The 3700 High Capacity Compression Only Canister Load Cells are designed for high force industrial and laboratory applications. Full Scale (FS) capacity starting at 100,000 lbf and extending to 1,500,000 lbf, while maintaining an accuracy of ≤ 0.25% FS. Each configuration comes standard with a spherical loading dome at the top of the load cell to aid in force alignment and reduce eccentric loading occurrences, as well as a threaded mounting hole in the base of the load cell for securement. The strain gauge measurement technology ensures high accuracy, repeatability, and reliability throughout the life of the product. All configurations of the High Capacity Compression Only Load Cells are fabricated with a Six Pin MIL-STD connector for integration to your current display or setup. As with all of our load cells, speak with a representative to discuss custom geometries, capacities, or connectors for your specific application.
