Square three-axis load cell, 44 kN per axis
The TR3D-C-10K is a square three-axis load cell. Three four-arm strain gage bridges, one per axis, measure the forces in X, Y and Z up to 44 kN (10,000 lbf) each; the maximum moment is 1.2 kN·m per axis. The stainless steel body measures 76.2 × 76.2 × 41.9 mm and weighs 1.0 kg; it is weatherproof sealed and temperature compensated. Its connector is recessed in the body. The full-scale output is 1.5 mV/V nominal at up to 10 V excitation, DC or AC rms. Non-linearity is 1 % of full scale or less in X and Y and 2 % in Z. It is usable from −40 to 149 °C.
The top and base have identical mounting surfaces, each with four M10 × 1.5 threads, so the cell bolts between two flanges. Each bridge is powered separately on its own four leads (P+, S+, S−, P−), at the end of a 3.05 m shielded cable; individual bridge connectors and the cable length can be specified at order. Positive outputs result when the top moves relative to the base in the marked directions. Each channel is calibrated to full scale, with a NIST traceable report that records cross-talk.
The TR3D-C is built for field data acquisition and laboratory testing; TR3D load cells are bolted between a seat and its mountings to measure the forces they carry while driving and in a crash.
Square three-axis load cell, 71 kN per axis
The TR3D-C-16K is a square three-axis load cell. Three four-arm strain gage bridges, one per axis, measure the forces in X, Y and Z up to 71 kN (16,000 lbf) each; the maximum moment is 1.7 kN·m per axis. The stainless steel body measures 101.6 × 101.6 × 50.8 mm and weighs 2.2 kg; it is weatherproof sealed and temperature compensated. The full-scale output is 1.5 mV/V nominal at up to 10 V excitation, DC or AC rms. Non-linearity is 1 % of full scale or less in X and Y and 2 % in Z. It is usable from −40 to 149 °C.
The top and base have identical mounting surfaces, each with four M12 × 1.75 threads, so the cell bolts between two flanges. Each bridge is powered separately on its own four leads (P+, S+, S−, P−), at the end of a 3.05 m shielded cable; individual bridge connectors and the cable length can be specified at order. Positive outputs result when the top moves relative to the base in the marked directions. Each channel is calibrated to full scale, with a NIST traceable report that records cross-talk.

Square three-axis load cell, 177 kN per axis
The TR3D-C-40K is a square three-axis load cell. Three four-arm strain gage bridges, one per axis, measure the forces in X, Y and Z up to 177 kN (40,000 lbf) each; the maximum moment is 9.5 kN·m per axis. The stainless steel body measures 152.4 × 152.4 × 76.2 mm and weighs 7.5 kg; it is weatherproof sealed and temperature compensated. The full-scale output is 1.5 mV/V nominal at up to 10 V excitation, DC or AC rms. Non-linearity is 1 % of full scale or less in X and Y and 2 % in Z. It is usable from −40 to 149 °C.
The top and base have identical mounting surfaces, each with four M20 × 2.5 threads, so the cell bolts between two flanges. Each bridge is powered separately on its own four leads (P+, S+, S−, P−), at the end of a 3.05 m shielded cable; individual bridge connectors and the cable length can be specified at order. Positive outputs result when the top moves relative to the base in the marked directions. Each channel is calibrated to full scale, with a NIST traceable report that records cross-talk.
On trailers, it is mounted behind the ring of a pintle hitch to measure the towing forces in three directions; its bolt pattern matches some hitch rings directly.
