About the SMSBLC Subminiature S-beam load cell

The Subminiature S-Beam Load Cell is a bi-directional strain gauge-based transducer with high performance and built-in temperature compensation.
This design provides better than ±0.1% (full scale) non-linearity and includes overload protection in both tension and compression directions. Options include IEEE1451.4 TEDS capability.

The sensor is provided with a #32 AWG 4-conductor braided shielded cable with an outer jacket of 0.087” [2.2 mm] diameter, 5 ft [1.5m] long, with no connection between the shield and the sensor body. For additional protection, the cable is contained within a stainless steel spring for strain relief purposes for the first 1” [25 mm].
