Miniature load cell by Interface: compact design with high force

The Interface SuperSC S-Type miniature load cell

Interface Force Measurement manufactures a wide variety of industrial test and measurement solutions that are available in Canada through Durham Instruments. For instance, the SuperSC S-Type miniature load cell is an economical, general-purpose load cell that offers high force in a compact design, as well as high stiffness and low deflection.

The SuperSC is an environmentally sealed miniature load cell that is insensitive to off-axis loading and available in capacities ranging from 100 newtons to five kilonewtons.

Pre-installed rod end bearings available

Designed with an IP66 rating, with IP68 versions planned for the near future, the SuperSC miniature load cell is a versatile device that works for applications in a variety of industries. Durham Instruments recommends it for use in general manufacturing, aerospace, automation, food processing, pharmaceuticals, education, the medical sector, packaging, power generation, alternative energy, transportation, and research and development.

Among the options available for this instrument are standardized output and special calibrations (ISO 376, E74, five-point). A high-temperature version is available for applications at up to 148 degrees Celsius, as well as submersible and fatigue-rated (half-output) units. A 1½-metre integral cable can be connected to the SuperSC, and pre-installed rod end bearings (REB-204 for metric tasks) are available as accessories.

Three models of the SuperSC miniature load cell are available from Interface – the Model SSC-25LBF, the SSC-250LBF, and the Model SSC-500LBF. Technical specifications include the following:

• Accuracy: nonlinearity of plus or minus 0.1 per cent FS; hysteresis of plus or minus 0.1 per cent FS; maximum creep of plus or minus 0.05 per cent in 20 minutes
