About the ALF325 Bending Beam Force Sensor

This high precision web tension loadcell is designed and built to meet the needs of machine designers, installation fitters and end users by the incorporation of alignment features with maximum flexibility. The high performance of this loadcell is not compromised by the relatively large errors that can be produced by imprecise installation.

There is a maximum supported moment for each range. Standard ALF325 loadcells can withstand full rated load at half a metre full cantilever.

Additional features ALF325

  • Standard bearing mounting
  • Mounting foot provision
  • Optional mounting flange
