ACMLR Compression miniature high capacity load cell

Compact compression load cell designed for high-force measurements up to 15 tons. Suitable for space-constrained industrial and OEM applications requiring reliable force feedback and high overload tolerance.


Key features

  • Compression load cell up to 15 t
  • Compact stainless steel design
  • High overload resistance
  • Stable 2 mV/V output
  • IP65 environmental protection

Performance highlights ACMLR Compression miniature high capacity load cell

The ACMLR series is a miniature compression load cell engineered for high-capacity force measurement in compact installations. With rated capacities of 5, 10, and 15 tons, the sensor combines a small mechanical footprint with reliable strain gauge technology, delivering a nominal output of 2 mV/V for accurate force monitoring.

Usage conditions

Manufactured from 17-4PH stainless steel, the ACMLR load cell is designed for demanding industrial environments. The sensor operates within a temperature range of –20 to +80 °C and offers IP65 protection against dust and water ingress. High safe and ultimate overload ratings support use in applications with dynamic or shock loads.

Possible applications

  • Industrial press force monitoring
  • Structural load testing setups
  • Heavy-duty machinery integration
  • OEM force measurement modules
  • Test benches with limited installation space

Advantages of choosing this product

The ACMLR series offers a combination of high load capacity, compact dimensions, and robust mechanical design. Its high overload tolerance and stable electrical output make it suitable for both permanent installations and prototype or test environments where reliability and repeatability are critical.

Other important features

  • Low non-linearity and hysteresis
  • Shielded 4-wire electrical connection
  • Stable performance over temperature
  • Multiple capacity variants in one seriesAbout the ACMLR Series
