Static Load Cells

2580 Series - Instron

Instron® load cells are a key part of a materials testing system. Instron is the only global materials testing supplier that designs and manufactures its own load cells. This ensures that Instron load cells meet the unique requirements of materials testing such as; high accuracy over a wide measurement range, high stiffness, resistance to offset loads, accurate alignment and excellent zero stability.

The 2580-xxxN Series load cells are specifically designed for use with 5900 testing systems; offering exceptional performance with the ability to measure forces as low as 1/1000th of the force capacity to an accuracy of 0.5% of reading.The load cells can withstand loads up to 150% of their force capacity without damage and 300% without mechanical failure. Automatic transducer recognition and electrical calibration, makes them easy to use.  The load cells allow the user to zero out the tare weight of a grip or fixture that weighs up to 10% of the force capacity, while still maintaining the full specified accuracy.
