Applied Measurements Ltd (United Kingdom) - Press Release: The new micro button load cell CDFT from Applied Measurements is the smallest button load cell we have ever made at only 2.9mm in height!

Key features of the micro-button load cell:

• Tiny Ø9mm and 2.9mm height
• Capacities from 0-10N up to 0-250N
• Accuracy: <±0.25% of rated capacity
• Wide operating temperature range: -40 to +125 °C
• Strain gauge based technology
• 2m cable as standard
• Integral load button

Applied Measurements new micro button load cell CDFT has a tiny 9mm diameter and 2.9mm height for accurate compression force measuring in the tiniest of spaces.  It utilises state-of-the-art strain gauge technology combined with precision CNC machining to give you precise and reliable force measurement results.

Even with its tiny size, this strain gauge based sub-miniature load cell is available with measurement capacities from 0-10N force up to 0-250N force, without compromising on its 0.25% accuracy.

Plus, it features an integral load button which helps to align the forces through the centre of the load cell, keeping extraneous forces to a minimum while delivering optimum load introduction for accurate and repeatable force measuring performance.

What’s more, Applied Measurements micro load cell can operate in temperatures from -40 to +125°C, making it ideal for a huge range of applications where forces need to be measured accurately, within low and high temperatures and in very tiny spaces. Plus, it comes with a 2-metre cable as standard with additional lengths available on request.

Ideal applications for this micro-sized load cell include:

• Robotics and effectors
• Industrial automation
• Micro-component assembly tools and machinery
• Keyboard button testing
• Telephone control
• Mechanical switch development and testing
