Miniature Button Load Cells for Industrial Fixtures
A low profile button load cell fits into a compact force stack for pressing, clamping and preload measurement. Start with the available 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch or 1-inch diameter envelope.

Ø12.7, Ø19 and Ø25.4 mm mounting envelopes
Diameter, overall height, blind hole pattern and base support must be checked together. The available mounting holes depend on the selected body and capacity; confirm the released drawing before machining a fixture.
Preload consumes part of the physical capacity
For a 500 N sensor with 100 N of mechanical preload, the sensor already carries 100 N before additional process force arrives. Taring the instrument changes the display reference, not the remaining mechanical range.

compression measurement.

Talk through your force path ↗
How do I choose a button load cell capacity?
Include preload, normal compression peaks and credible overloads. Select a range that resolves the minimum force of interest while leaving mechanical margin, and add a fixture overload stop.
Are kg, kgf and N interchangeable?
Kilograms describe mass. Use kgf when expressing force: 1 kgf = 9.80665 N. The tables show N, kgf and lbf together; dimensions and ratings remain model-specific.
Can you supply a drop-in replacement?
Send the complete original model, drawing revision, capacity and electronics details. We review mechanical and electrical interfaces and agree a sample correlation test before compatibility is confirmed.
Does a high-temperature cable upgrade change the sensor rating?
No. Cable, sensor body and amplifier ratings are separate. Request a +150°C or +200°C sensing configuration with the actual thermal conditions and agreed zero/span limits.
Can a load button connect directly to a PLC?
A bare mV/V bridge normally needs a compatible conditioner. Specify an MT-AMP-KIT with 0–10V, 4–20mA or an agreed RS485 interface, plus system calibration and force mapping.
