PCB Piezotronics, Inc. LOAD WASHER LOAD CELL - M6 FASTENER 054206-01203

The LOAD WASHER LOAD CELL - M6 FASTENER, part number 054206-01203, from PCB Piezotronics, Inc. is designed for measuring fastener clamping forces with a capacity of 20 kN (approximately 4496 lbf). It features a compact design that provides high stiffness, making it suitable for both static and dynamic measurements in constrained spaces. The load cell is constructed with a steel flexure and an aluminum cover, ensuring durability and reliability. This model includes a 5-foot cable with pigtail leads and is supplied with a pair of hardened ground washers to minimize the effects of spot loading and rotational forces. The device operates within a temperature range of 0 to +200 ¬?F (-18 to +93 ¬?C) and has an output of 1.5 mV/V at rated capacity. It is calibrated and tested prior to shipment, and calibration services are available through PCB's accredited laboratory. Engineers can utilize this load cell in laboratory or assembly environments to verify tension calculations and measure clamp loads effectively. It is compatible with various data acquisition systems, including the recommended Model 962 Portable Data Recorder for comprehensive fastener testing data collection.
