Appendix H: Low Force Load Cells
Low force load cells are an optional add-on to the UniVert system. They are available in 1N, 2.5N,
and 4.5N capacities. These load cells have M3 female threads and will require a special set of
fixtures. Components and tools required to use a low force load cell include:
•
Low force grips (M3 male thread and M5 female thread)
•
Light springs
•
Medium springs (assembled in grips)
•
Heavy springs
•
Low force compression platen (M3 male thread)
•
Plastic M3 Tension Load Cell Bracket
•
M5 to M3 stand off (long)
•
M5 to M3 stand off (short)
•
M3 Coupling nut
•
2x M3x8 SHCS
•
2.5mm hex key
All test fixtures should be mounted to the measuring end of the load cells. The active measuring
end of the low force load cells are shown below.
Due to their low capacity and sensitivity, be careful when handling these load cells . Only
handle the load cell by their sides and only use the low force fixtures to avoid overloading the
load cells.
