Our Smallest Loadcell to Date

The F259-Z4041 is the smallest loadcell that we have manufactured to date. It is 10mm in diameter and 3.8mm high, the picture shows the loadcell on a UK five pence coin. The loadcell has a rated load of 25kg in compression and is sealed to IP65.

This loadcell is used for a precision optical lens polishing application. If you have an application that requires a very small loadcell our engineering department will be happy to discuss your requirements.

T24-SYSC Set-up Wheel Loadcell Telemetry System

The T24 Set-up Wheel Loadcell Telemetry System is a high precision loadcell data acquisition sytem operating on the 2.4GHz band. It can be used with existing F256 set-up wheel loadcell systems as a replacement for TR150/200 loadmeters. More information can found in the T24-SYSC data-sheet. This data-sheet has links to other data-sheets for individual modules and an engineering sheet.

T24-ACMi/SAe Miniature Loadcell Telemetry Data Acquisition Unit

This miniature loadcell data acquisition unit provides high performance wireless measurement of loadcell outputs. Providing direct mV/V input and 5V bridge excitation for up to 4 load cells. The unit can be controlled by other T24 products such as the handheld displays or a base station. More information can be found in the T24-ACMi/SAe data-sheet.

T24 Loadcell Telemetry System

The T24 telemetry system is a high precision loadcell data acquisition sytem operating on the 2.4GHz band. This system can be used with any of our loadcells. More information can found in the T24-SYS data-sheet. This data-sheet has links to other data-sheets for individual modules and an engineering sheet.

New Ranges For The F308

The standard ranges for the F308 have been extended down to 5kg. Ranges up to 50kg now have improved performance. More information can be found in the F308 data-sheet.

F328 Low Force Universal Loadcell

The latest addittion to our loadcell range is the F328 an axial low force universal loadcell with quantified extraneous load and moment rejection. More information can be found in the F328 data-sheet.

DSC USB loadcell Digitiser

The DSC USB is a compact, high performance digital signal conditioner with USB connectivity aimed at applications, which require high-accuracy measurement with traceability. More information can be found in the DSC USB data-sheet. The DSC USB is also featured at our virtual office in Second Life® virtual world at slurl.com/secondlife/Clear/139/27/110.

ICA6H Loadcell Amplifier

This miniature loadcell amplifier is the latest addition to our range of small amplifiers. Designed for use with strain gauge loadcells it has a bi-polar ±10V output for use with bi-directional loadcells even though it is powered from a uni-polar supply. More information can be found in the ICA6H data-sheet.

Engineering Application Sheet E017 - Lifting With Loadcells - Safety

We have added a new engineering sheet on the safe use of loadcells in lifting applications. You can read more about Lifting With Loadcells - Safety in the Engineering Sheet section.

Measurement of Small Forces in Deep Water

We have recently supplied a 1kg loadcell to the USA's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for a project that involved measuring forces under water at pressures up to 600bar. You can read more about the project.

Calibration Range Extended

Recent modifications to one of our calibration rigs has extended the calibration range from 1000kN to 2000kN in compression. Please contact our sales department if you would like a quotation for your calibration requirements.

F327 Canister Loadcell

The F327 canister loadcell is a new product for 2009. With IP67 sealing and ranges between 10kN and 1000kN it is ideally suited to force measurement applications in harsh conditions.

The F327 data-sheet gives the full product specification. As with all our loadcells we are happy to quote for custom variations to the F327. We can also supply it calibrated in other force or weight units.

Please contact our sales department for pricing information.

Engineering Sheet For The F312

An engineering sheet is now available for the F312 custom shear pin loadcell. This provides help in specifying the requirements of a custom shear pin for a specific application.

Virtual Office

We have opened an office in the Second Life® virtual world at slurl.com/secondlife/Clear/139/27/110. Drop in anytime and see how it is developing. You can get a free Second Life® account that will allow you to explore the virtual world.

MicroNewton Force Measurement

Novatech Measurements have undertaken a major development programme to design a low range force transducer with the ultimate goal of resolving forces down to 1 microNewton. We have launched a new web site to deal with very low force measurements at www.micronewton.co.uk .

F204-Z3541 Pushrod Loadcell

The pushrod loadcell was designed in conjunction with a motorsport company as a direct replacement to their standard rod end bearing. More information can be found in the provisional data-sheet.

Loadcell Hire Service

We have launched a new loadcell hire service. If you only make occasional force measurements hiring may be more cost effective than purchasing a loadcell. Details of our hire service can be found at our loadcell hire web site or you can contact our sales department to discuss your requirements.

Loadcell Modulus Compensation Up To 250°C

We have been granted a UK patent for the modulus compensation technique that we use for the best performance at high temperatures. Please contact our sales department if you would like more information on high temperature loadcells.

TR150 Portable Loadmeter

The TR100 battery powered loadmeter has been replaced by a new loadmeter with improved performance. More information can be found in the TR150 data-sheet.
