Model RSB5 -Subminiature Load Cell

SHARE
The RSB5 subminiature load cells have good accuracy and stability for use in compression. They are available in 10 lb, 50 lb, and 100 lb capacities, with diameters less than 10 mm and height as low as the 3.5 mm. The RSB5 load cell is equivalent to the Honeywell Model 13 sub-miniature load cell as well as the Wika model F1222 load cell.

  • Capacities

RSB5 subminiature load cells are available in 10 lb, 50 lb, and 100 lb capacities. See REB5 for other smaller size load cells and RSB2 & RSB1 for higher capacities. 

  • Calibration Mode

Button load cells can be used only for Compression measurements. If you need to measure tensile forces then use RSB3, RAS1, RAL1 load cells.

  • Accuracy Class & Compensated Temperature Range

+/- 0.5% of full scale from -10C to 40C

  • Construction and Use

Built-in raised surface (button) for applying compressive loads. 

  • UART/USB Output

Use DI-100U with UART output to connect with Arduino or other microprocessors. Or use DI-100U/DI-1000U/DI-400U USB load cell interfaces to connect with PCs via USB.

  • Wireless Output

Wireless output via XBee (802.15.4) Industrial Strength wireless or WiFi or BLE for easy connectivity with PCs, Tablets and SmartPhones

  • Analog Output

Analog output via 0-5V DC or 4-20 mA output for easy input to DAQ or PLC

  • Customize

Call us for larger capacities or other unique needs. We can custom build them to order as needed.

If you need to do testing and data gathering or want to display values on a PC/Tablet via USB, simply connect the load cell to the DI-1000U Digital Load Cell Interface & use the USB connector on the DI-1000 to connect to a PC via the USB port. The DI-1000U is a signal conditioner & 24-bit digitizer (good enough to handle load cells with 0.02% of full scale accuracy) and handles all the communications functions to talk with USB port of a PC.  When connected this way, the load cell appears on the PC as a virtual COM port. Using a standard terminal emulator you can send commands to the sensor to display loads on screen. They can be displayed either one reading at a time or in continuous operation mode. You can also use Matlab, LabView or other popular programs to communicate and get calibrated readings from the load cell. It would be best if used our LoadVUE Pro application to display, log or plot data on a PC.

If you do not need the very high precision of the DI-1000U, you can use our DI-100U digital load cell interface with 16 bit ADCs and Serial TTL or USB output.  The DI-100U is sufficient for accuracies of +/- 0.1% of full scale output.  Or in other words if you need to measure +/- 1 lb accuracy over 1000 lb range or +/- 0.1 lb accuracy over 100 lb range, then the DI-100U is more than adequate for your application. If you wish to connect a load cell with an Arduino or other microprocessors or microcontrollers, then you can disconnect the S2U Serial to USB converter adapter and directly communicate via UART.
