The Burster Load cell model 8417 measures the tension or compression force between both axially mounted metric exterior threads on the cylindrical sensor housing. Forces are only applied to the threading, which accommodate counter nuts and must not be affected by external influences such as bending, lateral force or torsion. Any contact with units affixed to the sensor housing - even on the front - must be avoided.The measurement element is a membrane perpendicular to the axis of the sensor with a strain gauge full bridge applied to the inner surface, which requires stable excitation with a rated value of approx. 1.2 mV/V. The connection cable is fed radially through a sleeve from the housing. Standardization of the output signal in the cable to 1.0 mV/V is optional.
