AILC2 in line loadcell

Ultra-compact in-line load cell for precise tensile and compressive force measurements up to 5000 N.


Key features

  • Threaded miniature design for easy inline installation
  • Measures forces up to 5000 N / 1000 lbf
  • ±0.25 % non-linearity
  • Nominal output: 2 mV/V
  • IP64 environmental protection
  • Braided cable with strain relief included

Performance highlights AILC2 in line loadcell

The AILC2 is a highly compact, threaded in-line load cell ideal for measuring both tensile and compressive forces in applications with limited space. With capacities up to 5000 N (or 1000 lbf) and non-linearity better than ±0.25%, this sensor is suited for accurate, repeatable results under demanding conditions.

Usage conditions

The sensor operates reliably between -20 °C and +80 °C and offers IP64 protection. Its integrated stainless-steel spring provides mechanical strain relief for the cable connection. The sensor comes with a 1.5 m braided shielded cable and is optionally available with a connector.

Possible applications

  • Inline force measurement in test benches
  • Actuator and press force feedback
  • Small component mechanical testing
  • Robotic gripper force monitoring
  • Embedded measurement in tooling systems
  • Packaging or automation systems with limited space

Advantages of choosing this product

Thanks to its compact design, the AILC2 is well-suited for space-constrained environments. The robust construction with stainless steel strain relief and precise calibration allows engineers to integrate it easily into high-performance systems.

Other important features

  • Very low nominal deflection (0.05 mm / 0.10 mm)
  • Versions in both metric and imperial capacities
  • Optional connector pinout available
  • High bridge resistance: 700 Ω
  • Compatible with 5 V or 10 V excitation
