S-Beam Tension and Compression Load Cells
Models 151 and 152
DESCRIPTION
Honeywell Models 151/152 S-Beam Load Cells combine
compact structure with enhanced precision and rigorous testing
to form a reliable and durable tension and compression force
transducer. The one-piece design achieves an accuracy of ±0.03
% full scale. The lower capacity (50 N and 100 N) Models 152
(Order Code CA152) are constructed from aluminum; whereas
higher capacity load cells Models 151 (250 N to 50K N) are
made with alloy steel (Order Code CA151). (See page 3 for Order
Guide information.)
Models 151/152 load cells help keep equipment and specimens
safe, as well as minimize test time and maintenance through
reliable force measurement.
