Tension/compression load cell 4576A series

in-linesingle-axisstrain gauge

Description
Strain gauges are applied to the flexural diaphragms of the load cell and provide a bridge output voltage proportional to the measured load during concentric application. The Type 4576A load cell uses a strain gauge full bridge. A metric thread is cut in the central axis to introduce the measurement force via a load button or an application-specific screw part. Lateral forces within an angular range of ±2.5° to the horizontal can be neglected; larger lateral forces must be diverted from the sensor by mechanical means. For best results mount the Type 4576A on a plane flat surface using the integral screw holes. Nine measuring ranges are available from 0 ... 0.5 kN to 0 ... 200 kN.

Main features / advantages

• Compact strain gauge load cell design
• 9 measuring ranges: 0 ... 0.5 kN to 0 ... 200 kN
• Simple mounting via integral screw holes
• Measuring accuracy better than 0.25% FSO

Variants / Options

• Measuring ranges (examples): 0.5 kN, 1 kN, 2 kN, 5 kN, 10 kN, 20 kN, 50 kN, 100 kN, 200 kN
• Sensitivity options (examples): 1.5 mV/V and 1 mV/V
• Connector options (examples): 6-pin M16 circular connector, 9-pin D-Sub connector
• Typical model examples: 4576A0,5NC1; 4576A0,5SC1; 4576A1NC1; 4576A1SC1; 4576A2NC1; 4576A2SC1; 4576A5NC1; 4576A5SC1; 4576A10NC1; 4576A10SC1; 4576A20NC1; 4576A20SC1; 4576A50NC1; 4576A50SC1; 4576A100NC1; 4576A100SC1; 4576A200NC1; 4576A200SC1 (variants with NC3/SC3 D-Sub options)

Application / Use
Designed for medium tensile and compression force measurement in heavy-duty environments as well as laboratory and test applications. Apply loads concentrically to the central axis and avoid unaccounted lateral loads greater than ±2.5°; use mechanical decoupling when needed.

Characteristics / technical specifications

• Type: 4576A (strain gauge load cell)
