Transducer Techniques GSO-30 Load Cell

Description:

The Transducer Techniques GSO-30 is a precision miniature strain gauge load cell designed for ultra-low force measurement in tension and compression applications. Rated for a 30 gram capacity, it features a compact anodized aluminum construction measuring approximately 51 mm × 25.5 mm and utilizes bonded foil strain gauge technology to deliver highly accurate, stable, and repeatable force measurements. The GSO-30 is commonly installed in laboratory instrumentation, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, medical devices, robotics, precision assembly systems, and OEM machinery where high-resolution, low-force sensing is required.

Applications:

The Transducer Techniques GSO-30 is designed to convert low-level tensile and compressive forces into a proportional millivolt output for force monitoring and control systems. It is widely used in material testing, laboratory research, electronics manufacturing, quality control, packaging equipment, micro-assembly, and automated production systems where precise gram-force measurement and long-term stability are essential.
