DBCR Load Cell

Description

The DBCR range of low capacity high precision load cells that has been designed for the measurement of compressive and tensile forces. They are used extensively for bi-directional testing across a wide range of research and industrial applications. The DBCR is a compact version of the classic S-beam load cell and offers an accuracy of ±0.05% of the rated capacity.

Dimensions

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.
