F328 Low Force Universal Loadcell

The lateset 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 .

Instrumentation Manuals

Some of the instrumentation products now have manuals available as pdf files. Follow the links at the end of the online data-sheets under Additional Information.

Site Search

A site search facility has been added to make it easier to locate information. This searches all standard web pages and pdf files on this site.

Operating Instructions

Some of the instrumentation products now have operating instructions available as pdf files. Follow the links at the end of the online data-sheets under Additional Information.

Printable Data-Sheets

Most of our product data-sheets are now available as pdf files to make printing easier. Follow the links at the end of the online data-sheets under Additional Information.

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.

Engineering Sheet For The SY014

An engineering sheet is now available for the SY014 integral loadcell amplifier. The numbering system for the engineering sheets has been modified to combine all the general topics and the product specific sheets into one system. See the new Engineering Index page for the list of available subjects.

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.
