Overview
Small size and low weight are the working premise of the MK816 miniature load cell, which still delivers high accuracy, high sensitivity and long-term steadiness inside space-constrained assemblies. Environmental tolerance is built in, and the cell integrates cleanly into instruments destined for batch production.
Key Features
- Integrates into confined mechanical designs
- High accuracy with strong environmental tolerance
- Reliable in mass-produced instruments
- High accuracy (±0.5%F.S / ±0.1%F.S) for precise measurement
- Stainless steel elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
- Standard output 0.5mV/V (0~5kg) 1.0~1.5mV/V (10~100kg), compatible with common indicators
Applications
Typical of force and weight sensing in medical equipment, robotic grippers, consumer products and compact automation machinery.
