Description Warranty Information AFM Loadcells The Chatillon® AFM series Loadcells are designed to operate in both tension and compression using strain gauge technology. In combination with a DFS3 force gauge, the AFM loadcells offer an ideal solution for applications that require a measurement where there is no room for the gauge or to gain further flexibility. These external loadcells and torque transducers turns your Digital Force Gauge DFS3 into a 3-in-1 gauge device The gauge may be handheld or remotely mounted and the loadcell may be placed right where it needs to be to take the reading. A straight cable with a length of app. 9ft (2.8M) allows the AFM transducers to be used in diverse remote configurations. The gauge will operate the same as if it were an integral load cell and all functions will operate normally. Accuracy better than 0.1% of full scale is now possible for all detachable AFM Loadcells. All AFM Loadcells are calibrated in tensile and compression with a measurement readout and tabulated on the NIST calibration certificate. It is easy to connect the two external sensors - they both have an ADC inline box, which ensures a stable digital signal and enables the force gauge itself to identify them with a single click. The digital communication offers an improved accuracy and keeps the calibration information stored within the external device, meaning it can be used by other DFS3 gauges without affecting readings. This makes it plug-and-play. Calibration Certificate for AFM Loadcells The calibration of the AFM Loadcells is carried out with the greatest care by our metrology experts. All our AFMs are delivered with a calibration certificate and a statement of Tensile and Compressive measurements. Specification Sheet This product comes with a 2 year Warranty
