The Model S610 load cell is a miniature load cell, which can be used in both tension and compression. Combining overload protection and low profile, the S610 can be used in a variety of applications. It is often used with an in-line force measurement such as a scale or medical bag weighing application. With a bridge resistance of 5000Ω it has extremely low power consumption and therefore can be used in portable, ambulatory and battery operated products

With full-scale capacities of 100g through 50 kg (100 lb) and flexible #4-40 threads on both the top and bottom, the S610 is a flexible platform, which can be configured for many varied force measurement tasks. The load cell comes with a compression fitting which converts it to a pure compression load cell.
