New dual bridge strain gauge load cells from PCB Piezotronics
PCB Piezotronics, Inc. is launching a new product line of strain gauge, dual bridge load cells. The fatigue rated load cells are specifically designed for airframe structural, lifetime and fatigue testing applications on wings, fuselage, iron bird and landing gear.
PCB Dual Bridge Load Cells, Series 1400, include a dual output to provide sensor redundancy and the ability to provide control feedback from one bridge while the other is used for data acquisition. The new load cells are available in multiple ranges and have A2LA accredited calibration to ISO 17025 in both tension and compression modes.
Moment compensation helps to maintain accurate output from the sensor in the presence of eccentric loading and side loads often experienced during highly repetitive load test cycles. A single shunt calibration resistor is provided with each load cell for ease of calibration at the test site.
The dual bridge load cells are available with standard capacities ranging from 22kN to 445kN (5000lb to 100,000lb) with combined accuracies from
Many other dual bridge load cell ranges are available and guaranteed for 100 million fully reversed cycles. Other load cells available include low profile, rod end and S-beams for applications such as weighing, material testing, press monitoring, process automation, rocket thrust, component testing and flight control durability.
