Miniature button load cell CO 10‑Y2 — stainless steel, 10 kg nominal (KERN)

The Miniature button load cell CO 10‑Y2 is a compact stainless steel transducer designed for precise tension and compression force measurement in testing rigs, weighing tasks and laboratory applications.

• High precision 0.5% F.S.
• Stainless steel construction IP65
• Sensitivity 1.5–2.0 mV/V
• Suitable for tension and compression
• OIML class G5 accuracy

Consistent accuracy for lab and test environments

The compact KERN button transducer delivers a combined error of 0.5% F.S., which means consistent and traceable readings for quality control and test benches. The specified G5 classification denotes a high standard of measurement reliability within its class, reducing the need for repeated checks and shortening test cycles. For engineers facing tight tolerances, the measurable stability of this component supports reproducible results and smoother process validation.

Robust miniaturised design for harsh or confined setups

Constructed from stainless steel with an ingress protection of IP65, the miniature button format resists corrosion and ingress of dust or light spray, enabling mounting in compact or exposed positions. The low mass (approx. 0.07 kg) and compact footprint reduce mechanical loading on fixtures, while the hardened construction minimises wear in repetitive loading applications. These attributes translate into longer service intervals and lower maintenance effort for production and R&D environments.

Clear electrical output and system compatibility

The transducer provides a nominal sensitivity of 1.5–2.0 mV/V, a standard analogue output that pairs with most signal conditioners, amplifiers and data acquisition systems. The predictable mV/V range simplifies calibration and amplifier selection, so integration into an existing measurement chain is straightforward. Designed for both tension and compression measurement, the unit is suitable where bidirectional force monitoring or small‑scale weighing is required, such as component testing, biomechanical setups and precision assembly lines.

Versatile application footprint with regulatory conformity

Ideal for research and development, machine building, automotive suppliers and medical technology, the sensor is RoHS compliant and supports use in calibration technology and test equipment. The miniature load element is optimised for force testing rigs and small weighing systems, offering a compact solution where larger transducers are impractical. Paired with Metav Werkzeuge’s quality filter and supply chain, the device provides a reliable route to deployment for workshops and industrial customers seeking repeatable measurement performance.
