The Load Cell and Amplifier Set measures forces at any location within a PASCO Structures System. It includes a 6-port Amplifier and four 100 N Load Cells.
- 1x PASPORT Load Cell Amplifier
- 4x 100 N Load Cell
See the Buying Guide for this item's required, recommended, and additional accessories.
Product Summary
The Load Cell and Dual Amplifier Set can be used to test structure strength, manipulate forces, and explore dynamic force relationships. This set includes a 6-port Load Cell Amplifier and four, 100 N Load Cells. Load cells are easily inserted by replacing one structure beam with a load cell connected to two, shorter beams.
Features
- Insert Load Cells anywhere in Structures Sets
- Measure tension and compression forces
- Each Amplifier accepts up to 6 Load Cells
How It Works
A load cell can be inserted into the design by replacing one beam with a load cell connected to two shorter beams. There is no need to completely disassemble the structure to add instrumentation.

Product Guides & Articles
PASCO Structures System
PASCO’s Structures System offers realistic, hands-on tools for students to design and create life-like structures in the classroom. Intended for teaching principles of engineering and mechanical design, these systems are ideal for civil and mechanical engineering education courses. Materials range in complexity from single trusses to dynamic kits for design-based experimentation. This guide explains and compares all of our Structure System options and accessories.
Force & Acceleration Sensors
Force and acceleration sensors are devices that measure force properties and aspects of motion. You can apply these sensors while investigating phenomena in fields like physics, engineering, and physical sciences.
