Load Cell, S-Type, 20,000lbf (88.96kN)
S-Type Load Cells are designed to measure both tension and compression forces, making them ideal for geotechnical and construction materials testing. Available in capacities from 500 to 20,000lbf (2.2 to 89kN), these load sensors come with a four-wire cable for voltage signal output, compatible with two-channel or four-channel data readout devices (sold separately). Threaded mounting holes on the top and bottom provide secure installation.
Applications:
- Compression Tests: Mounted between load frames and test apparatus or penetration pistons for tests like unconfined compression or CBR/LBR.
- Direct-Shear Applications: Measure both tension and compression by mounting between the shear box and loading frame.
- Various Testing Needs: Ideal for triaxial shear, Marshall stability, indirect tensile, Lottman, SCB, and similar tests requiring consistent contact with fixtures.
Key Features:
- S-type design for measuring both tension and compression forces.
- Built with durable stainless steel or nickel alloy plated steel.
- Equipped with a four-wire connection for data readout compatibility.
- Threaded mounting holes for secure attachment.
Package Includes:
- S-Type Load Cell
- Four-wire connection cable
