TCA

S-Type Low-Profile Load Cell | Bi-Directional

CAPACITY
1KG – 50KG

NON-LINEARITY
±0.03% RO

RATING
IP20

Produced from aluminium, the TCA is a low profile bi-directional S-Type load cell. Designed for use in both tension and compression and to suit static or dynamic applications, the TCA is a popular choice for projects with space constraints.


The lower capacity models also feature overload stop protection (1-5KG). This load cell range is popular for its size and accuracy capabilities.


A range of fitting accessories are also available for this bi-directional load cell range. To view the full specification, please download the product datasheet.
