CT500 three-axis crash barrier load cell
The CT500 is a three-axis load cell for crash and impact tests against a barrier, with a natural frequency above 1 800 Hz. It mounts to a rigid plate; its 124 × 124 mm face leaves 1 mm between cells, so 64 cells cover the 1 m² face of the Instrumented Crash Barrier System at 125 mm spacing.
It measures up to 500 kN on the impact axis (Fx) and 125 kN on Fy and Fz. The CT440 is the 440 kN three-axis version, and the CT501 the single-axis version, 500 kN.
The cell is made of high-grade stainless steel, sealed to IP66, with all electronics mounted internally and a Mil-Spec circular connector. It works with any data acquisition system; size, load capacity and number of axes can be customized.
In the Instrumented Crash Barrier System, 64 cells come mounted on a 1 m² stainless steel plate at 125 mm spacing, with the signal wires routed inside the plate. The system mounts to the customer’s barrier frame, and several systems extend the barrier face.
