Rod End In-line Tension Load Cell
Model RM
DESCRIPTION
Model RM, with male threads, is a high output rod end load cell
designed to be mounted inline to the load axis to measure ten-
sion. The outputs for these load cells are ±5 Vdc or 10 Vdc, or
4 mA to 20 mA (two wire) all calibrated in tension. The mount-
ing thread configurations and the all welded stainless steel
construction make these tension load cells ideal for a variety of
rugged field applications as well as in the laboratory.
The optional high output signal offers resistance to electrical
noise as well as additional signal resolution. Additional options
include an internal buffered shunt calibration circuit for ease of
setup with an associated indicator, and a variety of thread selec-
tions, including metric sizes.

NOTES
1. Allowable maximum loads – maximum load to be applied without
damage.2
2. Without damage - loading to this level will not cause excessive zero
shift or performance degradation. The user must consider fatigue
life for long term use and structural integrity. All structurally critical
applications (overhead loading, etc.) should always be designed
with safety redundant load paths.
3. Interconnecting shunt cal. 1 terminal with shunt cal. 2 terminal
