Enhanced Load Sensors (ELS)
The ELS range of interchangeable tension and compression loadcells is specially adapted to the OmniTest universal testers. They can also be used when upgrading a MultiTest-dV stand to become a MultiTest-dV(u) materials tester.
To ensure that you have the optimum selection to meet your tension and compression testing needs, eighteen different models are available to cover the range from 2 N right up to 50 kN.
Loadcell capacity, range and accuracy
Each loadcell reads from zero to its full nominal capacity and is accurate to ±0.5% of reading from 2 - 100% of range. Class 0.5 according to ISO 7500-1
Each sensor is delivered as standard with its own calibration certificate traceable to national standards.
Servicing and calibration
Mecmesin also provides annual servicing and loadcell re-calibration. Talk to one of our engineers or your local national distributor to find out more.
ELS (2 - 500 N)
The ELS comprises a sturdy dovetailed-mounting box with an internal loadcell, complete with a small fixing thread and occupies minimal space.
Capacities:
- 2 N (0.55 lbf)
- 5 N (1.1 lbf)
- 10 N (2.2 lbf)
- 25 N (5.5 lbf)
- 50 N (11 lbf)
- 100 N (22 lbf)
- 250 N (55 lbf)
- 500 N (110 lbf)
ELS-S (100 N - 5 kN)
The ELS-S comprises the same dovetailed-mounting box with an external S-beam loadcell situated beneath. It provides a more rigid secure connection for large, heavy grips and fixtures than the ELS.
Capacities:
- 100 N (22 lbf)
- 200 N (44 lbf)
- 500 N (110 lbf)
- 1000 N (220 lbf)
- 2500 N (550 lbf)
- 5000 N (1100 lbf)
ELS-T (7.5 - 25 kN)
The ELS-T comprises a mounting box with an external S-beam loadcell situated beneath. It is designed for use with the OmniTest 7.5 and the OmniTest twin-column test frames for the testing of higher loads and provides a rigid secure connection for large, heavy grips and fixtures.
Capacities:
- 100 N (22 lbf)
- 200 N (44 lbf)
- 500 N (110 lbf)
- 1000 N (220 lbf)
- 2500 N (550 lbf)
- 5000 N (1100 lbf)
- 7500 N (1650 lbf)
- 10000 N (2200 lbf)
- 25000 N (5500 lbf)
ELS-P (20 - 50 kN)
The ELS-P comprises a mounting box with an external Pancake loadcell situated belneath. It is designed for use with the OmniTest 50kN twin-column test frame for testing of higher loads and provides greater immunity to extraneous "off-axis" loads.
Capacities:
- 20000 N (4400 lbf)
- 50000 N (11000 lbf)
