    PLC-Bi-Directional Pancake Load Cell-Custom
    Model: BD-PLC-C

    PCM PLC-Bi-Directional Pancake Load Cell-Custom

     

    The BD-PLC-C provides a simple device for tension and compression measurement.

    The design is based on a shear web principle which allows for mis-alignment loading with minimal effect on the load cells output.

    The DB-PLC-C can be custom built to suit your application.

    The PLC load cell has been designed for test rig applications where static and dynamic measurement is required.

    The units are supplied with calibration certificates using BS EN ISO 7500-1 test machine tracable to National Standards.
