Burster's 8411 Load Cell,
forces to be 
measured are applied centrally to the load cell through the two threaded pins. One covering surface of the cylindrical sensor housing is implemented as a measuring element, with the strain gauge being applied to its inner side. Under the influence of force, the full bridge circuit is unbalanced, and an output signal proportional to the force is generated.
A rigid compensation circuit board, 7 mm wide and 70 mm long, is located in the connecting cable to the sensor about 900 mm from the sensor body. This contains a resistor network for balancing the bridge and for temperature compensation. Removing the circuit board, or changing the cable length, will disturb the sensor‘s calibration figures.
The strong, rigid design leads to high natural frequencies up to 160 kHz as a result, which is beneficial for dynamic measurements. The active side is the thread next to the cable.
