Transducer Techniques SLB-100 Subminiature Button Compression Load Cell 100lbf

Description:

The Transducer Techniques SLB-100 is a subminiature button compression load cell designed for precision force measurement in applications where installation space is limited. Rated for a 100 lbf capacity, it features a compact load button design with a slightly convex loading surface for accurate force distribution and is constructed from heat-treated 17-4 PH stainless steel for excellent durability and corrosion resistance. The sensing element incorporates bonded foil strain gauges and is environmentally sealed to provide stable, repeatable measurements in demanding industrial environments. The SLB-100 is commonly used in material testing, product testing, medical devices, robotics, precision assembly equipment, and OEM machinery requiring accurate compression force measurement.

Applications:

The Transducer Techniques SLB-100 is designed to convert compressive force into a proportional millivolt output for monitoring and control systems. It is widely used in materials testing machines, quality control systems, medical device testing, electronics manufacturing, automotive component testing, precision assembly, research laboratories, and industrial automation where compact size and high measurement accuracy are essential.
