DDE Load Cell

Description

The DDE range of low profile load cells is designed for the 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 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..
