Transducer Techniques SLB-25 Button Load Cell

The Transducer Techniques SLB-25 is a subminiature button load cell designed for precision compression force measurement in space-constrained installations, enabling accurate data from loads in tight industrial, medical, and research environments. Rated for 25 lb, it combines a heat-treated 17-4 PH stainless steel body with bonded foil strain gauges to deliver a 2 mV/V nominal output at 5 VDC (10 VDC max), and it is environmentally sealed for reliable performance in demanding industrial environments across operating ranges. Key electrical and mechanical specs include ±0.25% of rated output nonlinearity and hysteresis, ±0.10% non-repeatability, ±2.0% zero balance, 350 Ω nominal input resistance, full-scale deflection of 0.002 in, and a safe overload of 150% of rated capacity; the compensated temperature range is 60°F to 160°F (16°C to 71°C) and the operating range spans -65°F to 200°F (-54°C to 93°C). Calibration is compression-only (tension calibration optional), and the SLB-25 is compatible with force indicators, signal conditioners, PLCs, data acquisition systems, and other standard industrial test equipment for use in material testing, medical device testing, electronics and automotive component testing, robotics, and precision assembly where compact size and accurate low-capacity compression measurements are essential.
