Compression Load Cell with Digital Readout | DSCC + TRX

At a Glance

Description

Capacities 5kN to 200kN are available ex-stock so you can have a compression load cell with digital indicator system in 7 – 10 working days!

Applied Measurements DSCC compression load cell with digital readout is a complete, on-site, handheld, compression measuring system.  It is supplied ready calibrated to UKAS traceable standards with a 128 x 64 dot matrix display with backlight, enabling you fast, portable, compression monitoring.

Thanks to the DSCC load cell’s low profile design and the compact size of the TRX handheld digital indicator, the compression load cell with digital readout system is ideal to use where space is limited.

The compression load cell with digital readout system comes with a rugged IP64 environmental protection rating, making it suitable for most industrial environments.

This complete system can measure both tension and compression and in both weighing and force measurement applications. However, if you would prefer an s-type tension and compression load cell instead, see our S-type load cell with display.

Thanks to Applied Measurements DSCC compression load cell’s stainless steel construction and high-frequency response, it is an ideal system for dynamic force and load measurement applications such as crash test walls.  Plus, the DSCC compression load cell has a dual-diaphragm design and central threaded through-hole so bending, off-axis, side-load/shear loads and torsion errors are kept to a minimum.

The TRX handheld LCD digital readout is easy to read and protected by a durable rubber finish. Functions include display hold/freeze, gross/net indication, peak hold, tough hold and TEDS support.

Additional features can be accessed if the TRX display is connected to our PSD PC Toolkit. Using the supplied micro USB cable, the TRX combined with the complimentary PC Toolkit is able to log, graphically display and export live data from the DSCC compression load cell.

The DSCC compression load cell can be completely customised with alternative threads, custom dimensions, counter-bored mounting holes, protection ratings of IP67 and IP68 submersible and higher capacities in excess of 5000kN possible.

Flexible Calibration Options

The compression load cell with digital readout comes with a variety of calibration options to suit your application.

Calibration options include:

• Single direction i.e. compression or tension only
• Bi-directional for tension and compression measuring
• UKAS traceable as standard
• Full UKAS calibration

The TRX multi-unit capability means it can display the input signal in many different user-adjustable units like for example newtons or kilograms.

We can also supply the DSCC pancake load cell with a BS EN ISO 376 calibration certificate for use as a reference standard.

When a full UKAS certification is required, this is provided through our association with the appropriate UKAS-accredited laboratories including the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in London.

Fixturing Options

To get the best possible performance from your load cell we can supply optional rod end bearings and load buttons, please speak to technical sales.

Load buttons and rod-end bearings are designed to align forces through the centre axis of the load cell, thus reducing the effects of extraneous forces and improving the load cell’s overall performance.

• Load buttons are used where compressive forces are applied.
• Rod end bearings are used where tensile forces are being applied.
