CDFM3 Miniature Low Profile – Compression Load Cell

The CDFM3 miniature button load cell is designed for compression measurement applications. Measuring 30mm in diameter and 12mm in overall height, the CDFM3 is one of the smalest compression load cell that we offer. If you need a smaller load cell, the CDF subminiature, or CDFT Micro button load cell are available in capacities from 0-500N right up 0-2kN and 10N to 250N respectively. The CDFM3 miniature button load cell is ideal for space limited monitoring with a wide load capacity. Ranges 100 to 20kN. Standard output is 2mV/V with options for inline amplifiers for standard 4-20mA or voltage outputs and handheld display for immediate readout.

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.
