Note: This type of load cell is only supplied with data for compression testing, but can also be used for tensile testing.
The back data of this type of load cell from our company shows that the tensile and compression sensitivities are almost the same (within 0.2 %), but a tensile load test can be carried out if necessary (at an additional cost).
