Description

Load Buttons and Rod End Bearings are designed to align forces through the principle axis of the load cell thus reducing the effects of extraneous forces, hence offering improved performance from the cell.

Load buttons are used where compressive forces are applied and Rod End Bearings are used where tensile forces are being applied.

Features

  • Supports Radial Loads in Tensile Direction
  • Suitable for Unilateral Loads
  • Hard Chromium/PTFE Composite/Elgoglide Sliding Contact Surfaces
  • Zinc Plated for Corrosion Resistance
  • Maintenance Free
  • Can support alternating loads in combination with Load Button
