The Burster Model 85075 (tension/compression load cell) is calibrated in the tensile direction. The characteristic figure for the compression direction can nominally vary by ± 0.25% from the figure for the tensile direction. The output signal is positive when the applied force is tensile.
The 85075 series is designed for the highest possible dynamic stress and service life. Between the central piece to which the force is applied (force introduction) and the outer ring (with fastening holes) there is a force-sensitive element to which strain gauges are applied.
The sensors are sealed by membranes welded to the top and bottom. These membranes prevent the central part from being moved sideways when lateral forces or torques act on the device. Their effect on the measured signal is therefore minimal.
