CDFM3 Load Cell

Description

The CDFM3 miniature button load cells are designed for the measurement of compressive forces where space is a limiting factor.  Its compact size means it can be fitted in the smallest of spaces and is often retrofitted, while the M3 threads in its base make fixing the load cell in position a simple task.  It is suited for both force measurement and weighing applications alike.  It is used in many industrial process measurement applications for monitoring and control purposes.
