ConvexBT Load Button Load Cell Featured Online at Sensor Tips

Featured in the post “How can a load cell force sensor be used in increasingly smaller end products?“ Randy Frank notes:

“A smaller form factor is frequently on the must have list for many next generation products. However, compromising performance is usually not an acceptable tradeoff. This is especially true in medical products such as force sensors where both precision and miniaturization are required.”

As shared in Industry Today, the ConvexBT capabilities far exceed what is available in these grow dimension requirements due to specifications to make devices and products more compact and convenient. Industries such as medical, industrial automation and products reliant on advanced communications technology need to validate these products with force-sensing solutions that can fit in confined spaces and provide extremely accurate data.

ConvexBT product comes in two different sizes: 3/8-inch, and 1/2-inch, which are all manufactured using 17-4 PH heat treated stainless steel. These options provide a wide measurement range from 10 to 250 lbf, a compensated temperature range of 60° to 160°F, and an operating temperature range of -40° to 175°F.

Additional specifications for ConvexBT include:

• 2.00 ± 20% mV/V rated output
• ± 0.25 nonlinearity as a percentage of full scale
• ± 0.25 hysteresis as a percentage of full scale
• ± 0.50 static error band as a percentage of full scale
