Transducer Techniques THC-3K-T Compression Load Cell

Description:

The Transducer Techniques THC-3K-T is a through-hole (donut-style) compression load cell designed for accurate force measurement in industrial testing, bolt load monitoring, and process control applications. Rated for a 3,000 lb capacity, it features a 2.00-inch outside diameter with a 1/2-inch through-hole (-T option) and is manufactured 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. It is commonly installed in bolt preload verification systems, press force monitoring, clamping force measurement, robotics, and OEM machinery.

Applications:

The Transducer Techniques THC-3K-T is designed to measure compressive force by sensing the load applied through its center opening. It is widely used in bolt force measurement, press load monitoring, industrial automation, structural testing, material testing, fixture clamping verification, robotics, and manufacturing quality control where accurate compression force measurement is essential.
