About the ALF204 Cylindrical force sensor
The ALF204 Cylindrical force sensor is ideally suited to bi-directional engineering force measurements. These cylindrical sensors are used extensively within the automotive industry for testing of auto components.
Standard rod end bearings are available for this product. If you require better performance than the ALF204 the ALF317 may be better suitable.
Geometry
Axial strain cylinder in a weather sealed stainless steel case, with end internal fixing threads. For use in tension and compression loaded in line with the axis. With bidirectional versions there is a small difference between the output signal for compression and tension.
All standard bi-directional load cells are calibrated in both modes and the output for each direction is stated on the test/calibration certificate.
