DBBSMM Miniature Load Cell

Description

The DBBSMM series miniature ‘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 DBBSMM is a miniature version of the DBBSM Series load cells and ideal for applications where space is limited and capacity is low.
