Easy to construct

Fit the I-beams into the connectors

Secure the beams with thumb screws

Thumb screws are also slotted for use with a screwdriver

The freedom to measure anywhere

Load Cells integrate directly into your structure, measuring forces ranging from -100 N to +100 N

Easily reposition Load Cells to any part of your structure

Connect up to 6 to each Load Cell Amplifier

The Load Cell is easily integrated

Measure 6, 18, even 24 points simultaneously—and in real time!

Select the computer interface to meet your needs

  • USB Link (PS-2100A) accepts one Load Cell Amplifier (up to 6 Load Cells)
  • PowerLink (PS-2001) accepts 3 Load Cell Amplifiers (up to 18 Load Cells)
  • Xplorer GLX (PS-2002) accepts 4 Load Cell Amplifiers (up to 24 Load Cells)

DataStudio software displays your data in real time—your choice of graphs or digits display
