The S220 load cell is a very low profile single point sensor intended for applications requiring accurate measurement of forces up to 12 pounds-force.  It can be used with a rigidly mounted platform or to measure tensile or compressive forces.  A 10,000 Ω wheatstone bridge offers extremely low power consumption for extended battery life in portable products.  Its thin-film metal strain gauge circuit enables a long-term stability of better than 0.1% per year.

Ideal for scales, weighing bottles or bags in medical instrumentation, laboratory use, robotics or general industrial weighing applications. Options on various specifications and mounting configurations are available.
