SS2-3 - Iss 2.doc
Gram range, Hi-precision Force Transducer
The SS2-3 load cells have been designed for
applications where precision measurement of
extremely low forces is required. They are based upon
bonded semi-conductor strain gauge technology,
conferring excellent sensitivity and eliminating the
fragility associated with unbonded strain gauge types.
The design features excellent immunity to the effects of
eccentric loading, side loading and bending moments.
Forces may be applied either in tension or compression
and alternative loading adaptors are available. The low
deflection and consequent high frequency response
ensures that the unit is suitable for measuring peak
and transient forces. The transducer will replace the
well known UC2 and UC3 range of load cells, originally
marketed by Gould-Statham®, who stopped production
in the 1980’s.
There are many applications for this range of load cells
in medical applications, research and development and
industry.
