"Load cells" are used for measuring weight and force.

It got broken due to unexpected vibrations or shocks…

It has been replaced several times due to short life-span…

You had such experiences?

We will introduce highly durable and long life load cells; they do not get broken even if loads of 5 times larger than their rated capacities are applied.

Rated capacity: 1N to 50N

Safe overload: 500%

Accuracy: 0.1% (0.2% with 1N & 2N)

Material: Aluminum alloy

Due to its very compact design, space-saving installation can be achieved! Easy to install with threaded hole.

Check out the video of the USM durability test with 500% overload.

Rated capacity: 100N to 200kN

Safe overload: 500%

Accuracy: 0.2%

Material: Stainless steel

Bear load up to 5 times of its rated capacity, even if applied load exceeds the rated capacity. Perfect for measurement at unsafe spots such as robots and press machines!

Check out the video of the SCB durability test with 500% overload.

With a load cell with enough safe overload, you don't need to select a load cell with larger capacity than actually needed, thus will not sacrifice accuracy.

Here, this table show the spec comparison between SCB: high stiffness compression type load cell and UNBF: a conventional compression type load cell.

The accuracy (non-linearity) of SCB is 0.2%FS. Thus, when choosing SCB-1kN (rated capacity of 1kN), ±2N of error may occur at most. In addition, the safe overload is 500%; in case the rated capacity is 1kN, the load cell will not break up until 5kN of overload is applied.

Meanwhile, UNBF-1kN (rated capacity of 1kN) will break when 1.5kN or more load is applied. That's why, it is common to choose the load cell with a larger rated capacity(2kN), just to be safe.

When choosing UNBF-2kN (rated capacity of 2kN), ±4N of error may occur at most as its accuracy (non-linearity) is 0.2%FS. Moreover, the safe overload is 150%; the load cell will not break up until 3kN of overload is applied.

In short, when comparing SCB-1kN and UNBF-2kN, the accuracy of SCB-1kN is 2 times greater than UNBF-2kN, and also SCB-1kN is more durable than UNBF-2kN.

In addition, risk at breaking of wire is quite low as the flexible cable is used for these load cells.

We UNIPULSE are offering load cells which are not only "hard-to-break and long-life" but also with many more advantages. Choose a load cell that matches your applications and/or use environment.
