PD

The PD Series is a high performance, low profile, bonded foil strain gage load cell constructed of heattreated alloy tool steel construction. The PD is designed to accurately measure compression forces in capacities ranging from 0-5,000 lbs. to 0-100,000 lbs. The shear web sensing design produces excellent performance, a very low profile, and reduced sensitivity to eccentric and side loading effects. The high output and low deflection of the PD Series combine to yield a high dynamic response and superior output resolution for applications in structural analysis, materials testing and process control. This load cell is Harsh Environment Sealed (IP67-Limited Immersion) by virtue of proprietary, multi-redundant barriers uniquely integrated to protect all internal components, including sealed stainless steel covers to protect the strain gage area. The attached cable is a durable polyurethane-jacketed cable with a tinned-copper braided shield for mechanical protection and to minimize the effects of RFI and EMI. Optional cable assemblies are available with mating connectors, including durable polyurethane or Teflon® jacketed cables. The attributes of the PD make it ideal for measurements in the laboratory, structures testing, materials testing, process control and for general force measurements where a compact, low profile precision tension and compression load cell solution is needed.
