CO 1-Y5 stainless steel tension and compression load cell — low profile, IP66 protection (KERN)

A CO 1-Y5 tension and compression load cell intended for precision force measurement in test rigs, automation systems and calibration equipment.

• Stainless steel construction
• Very low profile
• Rated for tension and compression
• IP66 protection

Precise force measurement for testing and calibration

The compact design of this load cell provides accurate force readings for light loads, with a nominal load of 1 kg / 10 N and classification to OIML class G1, which supports consistent repeatability in test environments. The stainless steel construction reduces long-term drift and corrosion risk, translating into dependable measurement stability over repeated cycles. For users integrating the sensor into rigs or force gauges, the low-profile geometry minimises assembly space while maintaining mechanical robustness.

Built to withstand industrial conditions

Engineered for practical use in workshops and laboratories, this force sensor carries an IP66 rating in accordance with EN 60529, safeguarding the electronics from dust ingress and high-pressure water jets in routine cleaning processes. The permitted operating range from −20°C to 80°C ensures the device performs across common environmental conditions encountered in machine shops and R&D benches. CE and RoHS conformity underline compliance with European safety and environmental standards, supporting responsible procurement decisions.

Straightforward system integration and traceability

The unit’s stainless steel body and standard electrical interface simplify mounting and cabling within automated test rigs and bench instruments. The small mass (approx. 0.03 kg) reduces the influence on lightweight setups and eases dynamic testing. Traceability is supported by the GTIN and manufacturer details for inventory and calibration records, helping to maintain documented measurement chains required in quality assurance and calibration workflows.

Suited applications and industry relevance

This sensor is optimised for applications in research and development, machine building, automotive supplier processes, medical technology and calibration workshops. Its combination of tension and compression capability and low height makes it especially suitable for force gauges, compact test stands and automated assembly verification. The robust stainless steel construction and conformity certificates make it a pragmatic choice for procurement teams seeking reliable performance in repeated test cycles.
