Flat
Load Cells Fatigue Rated Universal from Strainsert
Flat Load
Cells from Strainsert provide the best features required
by fatigue applications and are provided for in the structure.
Flat Load Cells structure is simple and compact, consisting
of an inner loading hub and an outer supporting flange
bridged smoothly by a uniformly continuous solid shear
web. Strain gauges are installed and sealed inside small
gauge holes along the neutral axis of the web. Structural
stress raisers are avoided. The lowest deflection and
highest natural frequency of any available load cell are
thus obtained, along with the highest resistance to extraneous
forces. Mechanical and Dynamic Properties of Flat Load
Cells are fully tabulated in Brochure #365-4MP.
Flat Load Cells long fatigue life and stability is mainly
due to the very low strain levels the shear gauges are
subjected to: ±500 microstrain FS for completely reversed
"C/R" rating and ±750 microstrain FS for unidirectional
"U/D" rating at ±2 mV/V and ±3 mV/V output signal levels
respectively.
