DBBSM Series Load Cell

Description

The DBBSM series ‘S-beam load cell’ is designed for force measurement and weighing applications alike and can be used for tension and compression measurements. It’s ease of mounting makes it very attractive for use as a general purpose load cell. The DBBSM is a miniature version of the DBB Series load cells and ideal for applications where space is limited.

The optional load buttons and rod end bearings are designed to align forces through the principle axis of the load cell, reducing the effects of extraneous forces. Load Buttons are used for compressive forces and Rod End Bearings are used for tensile forces.
