Product overview
Monad Electronics Pancake / Low profile Load Cells are commonly used in applications that require high precision, and less sensitive to load condition. For most capacities the Pancake Load Cell is normally designed with multiple shear struts. For lower capacities it’s designed with bending beams. If properly designed and manufactured, the nature of its structure is less sensitive to extraneous load and moments (especially Torque) compared to other inline sensors such as the S Beam Load Cell, diaphragm or column type. This type of Load Cell is normally used in press in compression for controlling the applied load or pressure during the test or production.
Pancake Load Cells normally provide a female thread thru the center and multiple thru holes on outer ring for mounting. Fixing the outside mounting holes will allow for it to be used in tension as well. Also by adding the tension base plate option users can utilize it in-line in both tension and compression, just like the S Beam Load Cell
Monad Electronics offers low profile, pancake style precision load cells constructed of stainless steel to provide rugged high performance over many cycles of testing, such as in material testing applications. Intrinsically safe and fatigue rated options are available.
Features:
- Available in most common pancake style
