Transducer Techniques, Inc. MDB-2.5 Mini Load Cell

Description:

The Transducer Techniques MDB-2.5 is an ultra-precision miniature load cell designed for accurate tension and compression force measurement in applications where installation space is limited. Rated for a 2.5 lb capacity, it features a compact anodized aluminum body with 1/4-28 UNF threaded mounting on both ends and utilizes bonded strain gauge technology for highly repeatable force measurements. It is commonly installed in laboratory equipment, medical devices, robotics, semiconductor manufacturing, test fixtures, and OEM machinery requiring precise low-capacity force sensing.

Applications:

The Transducer Techniques MDB-2.5 is designed to measure both tensile and compressive forces while providing a proportional millivolt output for monitoring and control systems. It is widely used in medical device testing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, robotics, microelectronics assembly, product development, research laboratories, packaging equipment, and industrial automation where compact size, high accuracy, and reliable force measurement are essential.
