DBBSM S Beam – Bi-directional Load Cell

The DBBSM series loadcells are a miniature S beam, bi-directional load cell suitable for tension and compression applications. Loadcells are available with a bi-directional range of 1Kgf up to 30,000Kgf with a standard 2.7mV/V (2mV/V above 10,000Kgf) output and accuracy of 0.03%. Units can be supplied with suitable inline amplifiers to provide a calibrated 4-20mA output.
