Micro force transducer-ELAF
Product Description
The ELAF series compression and tension load cells raise the bar for high performance at low cost. Measurement Specialties proprietary Microfused® technology, derived from demanding aerospace applications, employs micro-machined piezoresistive strain gages fused with high temperature glass to a high performance stainless steel force measuring flexure. Microfused® technology eliminates age-sensitive organic epoxies used in traditional load cell designs providing excellent long term span and zero stability. Operating at very low strains, Microfused® technology utilizes strain gages providing gage factors greater than 100, an essentially unlimited cycle life expectancy, superior resolution, exceedingly high over range capabilities (without the need for stops) and an amplified ratiometric high level 0.5 to 4.5 V output or 20 mV/V bridge output. Microfused® sensors are ideal for your test and measurement applications. From the ultra compact 0.5” diameter B0 and T1 design to the high range 1.25 diameter B2 package, the ELAF provides exceptional flexibility and superior performance.
