Diaphragm Compression Load Cells
Scotload’s diaphragm compression load cells are ideal for a range of structural and industrial applications where height may be limited.
Diaphragm compression load cells Manufactured from high tensile stainless steel, our diaphragm compression load cells have a low profile and high resistance to offset loads.
The standard fixing arrangement includes six counter bored holes with an optional base plate, which allows the load cells to become an integral part of the structure they are monitoring. They can also be supplied with tapped holes for more specialist installations.
