Compact miniature load cell for precise force measurement

The ALF250 miniature load cell is designed for highly accurate force measurement in applications where installation space is limited. With a diameter of only 15 mm, this compact diaphragm load cell provides reliable performance for both tension and compression measurements.

Its compact size, robust stainless steel construction and excellent repeatability make the ALF250 an ideal solution for OEM equipment, industrial automation, laboratory testing, scientific research and precision engineering. Available in compression, tension and bidirectional versions, it offers maximum flexibility for a wide range of force measurement applications.

Performance highlights

The ALF250 is available with measuring ranges of 100 N, 200 N, 400 N and 800 N. Every load cell is supplied with a traceable calibration certificate as standard, ensuring dependable and repeatable measurement performance.

Manufactured from hardened stainless steel and protected to IP65, the ALF250 delivers stable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Usage conditions

For optimum measurement accuracy, the load should be applied directly through the central loading axis. The ALF250 is available as a standard load button version for compression applications or as a stud version for tension, compression and bidirectional measurements.

The operating temperature range of -10°C to +80°C makes the load cell suitable for both industrial and laboratory applications. It is supplied with a 2 m screened PVC cable for easy installation.
