Overview
The MK117 is a low-profile, keyway-type spoke load cell designed for dual tension-and-compression use on testing machines. Its short section height supports a range of accuracy requirements while remaining well suited to general force measurement.
Key Features
- Low section height for tight builds
- Tension and compression capable
- Suits multiple accuracy classes
- High accuracy (≤0.03%F.S) for precise measurement
- Alloy steel elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
- Standard output 2.0±0.01mV/V, compatible with common indicators
Applications
Purpose-built for material-testing machines and other force-measurement applications requiring a tension-and-compression spoke sensor.
