The U4000 series is a range of high performance tension-compression load cells that provide unrivalled performance for a wide range of force and load measurement applications. During manufacture, special attention is paid to control the parallel nature of the top and bottom mounting surfaces together with the alignment of the fixing threads, which makes the products ideal for direct mounting in material testing machines. All versions benefit from very low deflection under load which is an important factor for many force measuring applications. Each and every load cell is fully compensated for thermal effects on zero and sensitivity and they all offer excellent linearity characteristics for both tension and compression use. The U4000 series can be supplied fully calibrated with instrumentation to provide a complete force measuring system.
