CDIT-1 Stainless steel low profile compression load cell

Compact stainless steel load cell designed for space-constrained force and weight measurements. Ideal for press calibration and general testing tasks in tough environments.


Key features

  • Ranges from 50 kg to 5000 kg
  • IP67 environmental sealing
  • High repeatability <±0.05%
  • Low-profile, compact design
  • Fully welded stainless steel body
  • High overload protection up to 150%

Performance highlights CDIT-1 Low profile compression load cell

The CDIT-1 is a low-profile compression load cell designed to deliver precise force and weight measurements in environments with limited space. With a nominal sensitivity of 2mV/V and a repeatability of less than ±0.05%, it ensures accurate and reliable readings across its entire range.

Usage conditions

Constructed from fully welded stainless steel, the CDIT-1 offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability. It is environmentally sealed to IP67, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, even in harsh industrial environments.

Possible applications:

  • Press calibration
  • Process measurement and control
  • Automotive component testing
  • Low-height weighing systems
  • OEM machine integration

Advantages of choosing this product

Thanks to its compact dimensions and robust build, the CDIT-1 is perfect for integration into tight spaces without compromising on measurement accuracy. The product's versatility, combined with a broad capacity range (50–5000 kg), makes it a go-to solution for engineers and designers working on force measurement tasks in diverse industries.

Other important features:

  • Optional TEDS with TR150 display
  • Cable-integrated connection (3m PVC)
  • Displacement at nominal load: ~0.2mm
  • Excellent temperature compensation (zero: ≤±0.003%/°C, sensitivity: ≤±0.0025%/°C)
