Load Cell, S-Type, 1,500lbf (6.67kN)

The S-Type Load Cell is a highly versatile force measurement sensor engineered to accurately measure both tension and compression forces across a wide range of geotechnical and construction material testing applications. Available in capacities ranging from 500 to 20,000lbf (2.2 to 89kN), this load cell is built to handle demanding testing environments while delivering precise and reliable results.

Constructed from durable stainless steel or nickel-plated alloy steel, the S-Type Load Cell is designed to withstand the rigors of laboratory and field testing. It features threaded mounting holes on both ends for secure and easy installation, and includes a four-wire cable for seamless integration with two- or four-channel data readout devices (sold separately).

Applications:

Compression Testing: Ideal for unconfined compression or CBR/LBR tests, the load cell can be mounted between the load frame and test apparatus or penetration piston to deliver accurate compressive force measurements.

Direct-Shear Testing: Capable of measuring both tension and compression forces, this load cell is mounted between the shear box and a fixed point on the loading frame, making it an excellent choice for direct-shear testing.

Specialized Testing: Suitable for a wide variety of advanced testing methods, including triaxial shear, Marshall stability, indirect tensile, Lottman, SCB, and other tests that require precise, uniform contact between the load cell and fixtures.

Structural and Material Testing: Can be used in structural load testing applications where accurate force measurement is critical to evaluating material strength and performance.
