The ELWF series compression load cells raise the bar for high performance at low cost. Measurement Specialties proprietary Microfused™ technology, derived from demanding aerospace applications, employ micro-machined piezoresistive strain gages fused with high temperature glass to a high performance stainless steel force measuring flexure. Microfused™ technology eliminates age-sensitive organic epoxies used in traditional load cell designs providing excellent long term span and zero stability. Operating at very low strains, Microfused™ technology utilizes strain gages providing gage factors greater than 100, an essentially unlimited cycle life expectancy, superior resolution, exceedingly high over-range capabilities (without the need for stops) and a ratiometric span of 20 mV/V. High level of 0.5 to 4.5 V ratiometric outputs (/AMP) available operating from 5 Vdc excitation.

Microfused™ sensors are ideal for your test and measurement applications. Shielded, Teflon insulated instrumentation cabling is provided along with full NIST traceable calibration certificates. The ELWF unit is fully thermally compensated and will provide an essentially unlimited cycle life expectancy. The ELWF can be configured with a variety of options to fine-tune the instrument to your application: select from several standard compensated temperature ranges, input voltages, lead lengths or specify entirely unique combinations of these options.
