Tension/compression load cell MSI Sensors

Measurement Specialties offers packaged load cell assemblies for test and measurement applications that require high performance or unique packaging.

Force Sensor - ELPF Series

Description: The ELPF Series tension/compression load cells raise the bar for high performance at low cost. Measurement Specialties proprietary Microfused™ technology, derived from demanding aerospace applications, employs micro-machined piezoresistive strain gages fused with high temperature glass to a high performance stainless steel force measuring flexure. Microfused™ technology eliminates age-sensitive organic epoxies used in traditional load cell designs providing excellent long term span and zero stability. Operating at very low strains, Microfused™ technology utilizes strain gages providing gage factors greater than 100, an essentially unlimited cycle life expectancy, superior resolution, exceedingly high overrange capabilities (without the need for stops) and an amplified ratiometric high level 0.5 to 4.5 V output or 20 mV/V bridge output. Microfused™ sensors are ideal for your test and measurement applications. Measurement Specialties’ ELPF Test and Measurement series sensors, unlike most competitive designs, are provided with a "four-bar" design where a flexible diaphragm parallels the measuring flexure. This configuration is far less susceptible to off-axis load components than single diaphragm traditional designs. Shielded, teflon insulated instrumentation cabling is provided along with spring steel strain reliefs and full NIST traceable calibration certificates.
