Interface WMCP Overload Protected Stainless Steel Miniature Load Cell

The Interface WMCP Overload Protected Stainless Steel Miniature Load Cell model adds overload protection to the WMC family features of environmentally sealed, stainless steel housings, proprietary temperature-compensated strain gauges and small load cell sizes for convenient mounting and machine integration.

WMCP load cells are available in capacities of 250 gf (0.55 lbf), 500 gf (1.1 lbf) and 1000 gf (2.2 lbf) in both tension and compression. The load cell can be overloaded by 32 times the rated load without damage to the sensor, protected by a dependable mechanical stop not previously available in the WMC Miniature family. This protection reduces the risk of signal error or damage from unpredictable, excessive load forces.

The load cell family of miniature force sensors offers a variety of options to address specific applications needing the slim design, the environmentally sealed stainless steel housing or the wide-capacity range. WMC model capacities start at 0.55 lbf (250 gf) with a 2 mV/V output in a small 19.05 mm diameter housing. The largest WMC Rod End load cells offer capacities up to 890 kN in a slim 113.54 mm diameter housing.

The WMC load cell family includes optional male or female threaded mounting for flexible design, replacement or retrofit application requirements. The environmentally sealed, stainless steel housing is compatible with extreme environments found in the oil and gas industry and other industrial applications exposed to corrosive materials.
