SS5000M Series Load Cell

SS5000 Tension / Compression Load Cell

Overview

The SS5000 series are strain gauge based tension & compression, miniature universal load cells with integral amplification providing a high level output signal, operating from an unregulated supply voltage.

These universal load cells are fully compensated for the effects of temperature on the zero output and sensitivity and employ precision transducer quality bonded strain gauges inter-connected to minimise the effects of offset forces and bending moments as the primary transduction elements.

The SS5000 series are machined from stainless steel and have a high resistance to overload, shock and corrosion.

Features

The SS5000 series are manufactured from stainless steel and have unusually high resistance to overload, shock and corrosion. The transducer is fully compensated for the effects of temperature on the zero output and sensitivity and employs precision transducer quality bonded strain gauges inter-connected to minimise the effects of offset forces and bending moments as the primary transduction elements. The universal load cell is fitted with an integral multi-conductor cable properly bonded to ensure full EMC compatibility.

Specifications

Applications

Sherborne Sensors SS5000, are a family of universal miniature strain gauge load cells, designed to measure both tension and compression loads. SS5000 is specially designed with integral amplification, offering users a high accuracy measurement output of +10 Vdc over their full range. Most load cells on the market of this type offer only mV output.

With units weighing just 250g, the size and performance characteristics of the SS5000 allows them to be used in a variety of applications, including:

Materials testing

Medical device design and testing

QC and laboratory testing

R&D projects

Renewable energy systems

Consumer products testing

Robotics

General force measurement

Weighing and scale-related applications

The SS5000 offers four measurement ranges, from ±250 to ±2,000N (+3000N maximum), with units occupying a footprint of 44.5 cm in diameter, 31 cm in length, and reliably operating over a temperature range of -13 to +167 °F (-25 to +75 °C). Units feature an internal stainless steel load cell element, which offers unusually high resistance to overload, shock and corrosion.

The Wheatstone bridge design is fully compensated for temperature effects on zero output and sensitivity. Because of their highly durable construction, SS5000 universal load cells have superior long-term stability and minimal effects from small off-axis loads. All load cells come standard with an integral multi-conductor cable, and male thread studs for load attachment.
