About the AILC1 Subminiature in line loadcell

The AILC1 Sub-miniature Threaded In Line Load Cell is a high-precision strain gauge transducer designed for applications where space is extremely limited. It accurately measures both tensile and compressive forces up to 100 N, with excellent repeatability and non-linearity better than ±0.5% of full scale.

Usage conditions

Ideal for benchtop, lab and OEM applications, the AILC1 is built from stainless steel for robustness and is rated IP64 for basic environmental protection. The unit is delivered with a 1.5-meter long, #36 AWG braided shielded cable for optimal signal integrity. A protective stainless steel spring sleeve provides strain relief near the sensor body.

Possible applications

  • Low-force mechanical testing
  • Biomechanical instrumentation
  • Robotics and actuator feedback
  • Precision test benches
  • OEM integration in space-constrained systems

Advantages of choosing this product

Choosing the AILC1 ensures high-accuracy measurement in tight spaces. Its compact, rugged build and dual threaded mounting make it easy to integrate into any setup. The sensor can be adapted with optional connectors or custom cabling upon request.

Other important features

  • Withstands 150% of full-scale load without performance loss
  • Low hysteresis and excellent repeatability
  • Custom temperature ranges and output options available
  • Optional version with TEDS chip and connector
  • Compatible with Althen data acquisition systems
