Miniature
General-Purpose Load Cells

431(M), 434A(M) Series

431 / 431M Series

434A / 434AM Series

The 431, 431M, 434A, and 434AM Series offer the smallest-size strain gage force transducers where good specification can still be maintained.  Operating in both tension and compression from forces of 50 grams to 10,000 pounds, these precision miniature load cells have a rugged stainless-steel weld construction with a "tripled" stack design to eliminate or minimize off-axis loading effects.  And the internal construction assures excellent long-term stability for ranges of 1 kg and up.

All the basic engineering concepts of larger load cells are built into these instruments, including precision calibration, stabilizing diaphragms, pressure compensation, etc.  Each bonded strain gage unit is built of welded 17-4 PH stainless steel for additional ruggedness.

Models in the 431 and 431M Series have male threads, while the 434A and 434AM Series have female threaded load attachments which can accommodate the PLATFORM shown under Load Cell Accessories.

General Specifications are given below.

NOTE: Maximum torque for installation of 431M Series units and of 431 Series units with ranges of less than 25 lb. is 12 lb.-in.
