REB5 Miniature Button Force Sensors

Loadstar Sensors' REB5 miniature sensors can be used for compression or push force measurement

Image of Loadstar's REB5 Miniature Button Force SensorsLoadstar's REB5 is an economical sub-miniature resistive button load cell with accuracy and stability for use in compression force measurement applications with limited room for the sensor. They are available in a diameter of less than 13 mm and height as low as 7 mm.

The base output from these load cells is about 1 mV/V to 2 mV/V. If 10 VDC power is supplied to the load cell, about 10 mV to 20 mV of change for full scale is received. USB output can be found with Loadstar’s DI-100U or DI-1000U load cell interface, wireless output with the DI-1000ZP/DI-1000WiFi/DI-1000BLE load cell interfaces, or analog 0 VDC to 5 VDC output with the AI-1000 strain gauge signal conditioner.

REB5 button load cells are available in capacities of 2 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, and 100 kg.
