CCG Annular Force Washer – Compression Load Cell

The CCG load cell is an annular/force washer load cell designed for the measurement of compressive forces and they are suitable for use in a wide range of research and industrial applications. The CCG load cell is often used in electro-mechanical test rigs and other critical bolted installations for monitoring continuously, or periodically, the tension profile of bolts during their use in the installation. The CCG load cell can also be used in cable tension systems and would normally be positioned at the cable anchor point. Ranges 12.5 to 540kN. Standard output is 1.5mV/V with an accuracy of 1.5% and options for inline amplifiers for standard 4-20mA or voltage outputs.

CCG Load Cell

Description

The CCG Series of annular load cells are designed for the measurement of compressive forces, both continually and periodically and are often used to monitor bolt tension on wind turbines, or similar structures. These load cells often used in electro-mechanical test rigs and other critical bolted installations for monitoring continuously or periodically the tension profile of bolts during their use in the installation. The CCG is also used in cable tension systems and usually positioned at the cable anchor point.
