Calibration Load Cell

Morehouse Load Cells are often the choice for companies that make field measurements in accordance with ASTM E4, ISO 7500, and general field measurements, which may include checking the force of a production press.

These load cells are suitable for the following uses:

• Applications where alignment is critical
• To calibrate other load cells or field force systems
• ISO 376 standard meeting Class 1 or better requirements
• To calibrate to ASTM E74 Class A better than 8 % of capacity when used only in a single direction [1]
• Installation into load frames or presses
• Critical weighing applications, test stands, and wire tension measurement

[1] When the directions are combined, there may be a reduction in the loading range. The reduction varies by capacity, and the verified range of forces could increase to 40 % of capacity. If the Integral Threaded Adapter is removed, the performance characteristics might double for ASTM E74 and ISO 376 Calibrations.

A common issue with most load cells is the connector breaking. This often results in repair and/or another calibration of the load cell. This is not a problem with Morehouse load cells.

Morehouse Load Cells come with a connector protector and are available in capacities from 300 lbf (1 kN) up to 110,000 lbf (500 kN). After 110,000 lbf (500 kN), load cells can be made to order. Since physical weight increases to over 100 lbs after 110,000 lbf, we recommend Morehouse Multi-Column Load Cells for any capacity above 200,000 lbf.
