Transducer Techniques MLP-25 Load Cell

The Transducer Techniques MLP-25 is a miniature low-profile load cell designed for precision tension and compression force measurement in industrial, laboratory, and OEM applications. Rated for 25 lb capacity, it features an anodized aluminum housing and bonded strain gauge technology to deliver accurate, repeatable readings with a 2 mV/V nominal output and 350 Ω nominal input resistance, typically using a 10 VDC excitation. It supports bidirectional force measurement (tension and compression) with a full-scale deflection of 0.003 in; compression calibration is included, with tension calibration optional. The device withstands a safe overload of 150% of rated capacity and operates from -65°F to 200°F (-54°C to 93°C). Its compact 1/4-28 UNF mounting thread makes it suitable for tight fixtures, robotics, automation equipment, and packaging machinery. IEEE 1451.4 TEDS compatibility enables Plug & Play automatic sensor identification and calibration with compatible instruments, and it is commonly used with force indicators, PLCs, data acquisition systems, universal testing machines, and other industrial automation gear. Core applications include test fixtures, materials testing, robotics, and OEM machinery where small size and high accuracy are essential.
