Load cell series ELFF

The ELFF series tension/compression load cells raise the bar for high performance at low cost. Measurement Specialties proprietary Microfused™ technology, derived from demanding aerospace applications, employs micro-machined piezoresistive strain gages fused with high temperature glass to a high performance stainless steel force measuring flexure.

Microfused™ technology eliminates age-sensitive organic epoxies used in traditional load cell designs providing excellent long term span and zero stability.

Operating at very low strains, Microfused™ technology utilizes strain gages providing gage factors greater than 100, an essentially unlimited cycle life expectancy, superior resolution, exceedingly high overrange capabilities (without the need for stops) and an amplified ratiometric high level 0.5 to 4.5 V output or 20 mV/V bridge output. Microfused™ sensors are ideal for your test and measurement applications.

Série ELAF

Teflon insulated shielded mini-cable is provided as well as full NIST traceable calibration certificates.

The ELFF unit is fully thermally compensated and will provide an essentially unlimited cycle life expectancy. The ELFF can be configured with a variety of options to fine tune the instrument to your application: select from several standard package geometries, compensated temperature ranges, input voltages, lead lengths or specify entirely unique combinations of these options.
