The VF6 Series is a universal high performance load cell constructed of transducer-quality aluminum alloy. The VF6 is designed to accurately measure tension and compression forces for applications ranging from 0-2.2 LB to 0-100 LB. The VF6
Series features side mounting via two sets of countersunk mounting holes that allow the unit to be mounted up or down to facilitate loading from the top or bottom. The VF6 Series features a field proven dual-guided cantilever beam design that readily tolerates moments induced by angular, eccentric, or off-center loading, with low sensitivity to these types of extraneous loads, producing excellent performance in a very small, compact package. The VF6 Series also offers integral over-load protection for both tension and compression modes, thus yielding much higher safe and ultimate overload capacity. The load cell is environmentally sealed to IP65 (limited immersion) by virtue of proprietary multi-redundant barriers uniquely integrated to protect all internal components. The integral premium instrumentation grade cable features a silicone jacket over a tinned-copper spiral braided shield for superior mechanical protection and to minimize the unwanted electrical effects of RFI and EMI. The VF6 Series is an ideal choice for low force measurements such as medical and life science applications where a versatile high accuracy load cell solution is required.
