DDE Load Cell

Description

The DDE range of low profile load cells is designed for the in-line measurement of tensile or compressive forces. The DDE design enables in-line mounting of the load cell in a variety of industrial, research and development applications. Its compact size makes it advantageous in applications where it is not possible to fit a larger, conventional load cells, i.e. ‘S’ type load cells.

The low deflection and high natural frequency of the DDE offers particular benefits in material testing and cable tension monitoring applications..
