Overview
The MK803 is a miniature load cell of positive-strain construction with a very small, low-height body made entirely of stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Its compact sensing geometry fits into tight mechanisms while measuring push and pull forces dependably, which suits test instruments and automation with minimal space.
Key Features
- High accuracy (±0.3%F.S) for precise measurement
- Stainless Steel elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
- Standard output 1.0–1.5mV/V, compatible with common indicators
- Compact design for straightforward integration
Applications
Insertion and extraction force testers, riveting and welding machines, hot and cold press laminating equipment, and keyboard-button feel testers and similar tension-compression test instruments.
