Need a versatile force sensor for measuring both pulling and pushing forces? ADI Controls’ AST-221 is an S-beam force transducer designed for tension and compression measurement in industrial applications. Its S-shaped sensing structure uses strain gauges to convert mechanical deformation into a proportional electrical signal. The s type load cell is suitable for applications including industrial automation, universal testing systems, tank and bag weighing, batching, hopper weighing and suspended weighing arrangements. The AST-221 is available across a broad capacity range and is designed for applications where axial force measurement, repeatability and dependable mechanical integration are important. Correct alignment and suitable mounting accessories should be considered during installation to minimise unwanted side loads or bending forces. Review the AST-221 specifications and discuss your application requirements with ADI Controls before selecting the appropriate capacity and installation arrangement.
