Interface’s SuperSC miniature load cell is an economical, general-purpose unit

The SuperSC S-Type miniature load cell

Durham Instruments carries a broad range of industrial test and measurement devices from Interface Force Measurement, such as the SuperSC S-Type miniature load cell. This innovative unit is an economical, general-purpose load cell that provides high force in a compact design, in addition to high stiffness and low deflection. The SuperSC S-Type is an environmentally sealed miniature load cell that is insensitive to off-axis loading and available in capacities that run from 100 newtons to five kilonewtons.

High-temperature model is also available

This instrument is designed with an IP66 rating, and IP68-rated versions are planned for the near future. Among the options available for the SuperSC S-Type are standardized output and special calibrations (ISO 376, E74, five-point). A high-temperature model is also available, for applications involving heat of up to 148 degrees Celsius; Interface also makes submersible and fatigue-rated (half-output) models. A 1½-metre integral cable can be connected to the SuperSC S-Type, and users can obtain pre-installed rod end bearings (REB-204 for metric applications) as accessories.

Interface manufactures three versions of the SuperSC miniature load cell: the Model SSC-25LBF, the Model SSC-250LBF, and the Model SSC-500LBF. Among the technical specifications of these devices:

• 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;
• Compensated temperature range – -15 to 65 degrees Celsius;
• Operating temperature range – -55 to 90 degrees Celsius;
• Effect on output – plus or minus 0.001 per cent per degree Fahrenheit;
• Effect on zero – plus or minus 0.0035 per cent RO per degree Fahrenheit;
• Rated electrical output –0 plus or minus 15 per cent millivolts per volt (nominal);
• Zero balance – plus or minus five per cent RO;
• Bridge resistance – 350 ohms (nominal); and
• Excitation voltage – 15 VDC MAX.

The SuperSC load cell is a versatile device that suits tasks in many industrial sectors. The Durham Instruments team recommends it for use in the general manufacturing, aerospace, automation, food-processing, pharmaceutical, education, medical, packaging, power-generation, alternative-energy, and transportation industries and also in research and development.
