KERN CO 10-Y5 stainless-steel tension and compression load cell, 10 kg nominal

The CO 10-Y5 is a low-profile stainless-steel tension and compression load cell designed for test stands, force measuring devices and automation applications in research, industrial and medical environments.

• Stainless steel construction
• Very low-profile design
• Rated 10 kg / 100 N capacity
• IP66 protection to EN 60529

Robust construction for reliable measurements

The sensor’s stainless steel housing provides corrosion resistance and mechanical stability, ensuring consistent output under repeated load cycles. With an IP66 rating and an operating range from -20°C to 80°C, the unit tolerates dust ingress and high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for harsh workshop and laboratory environments. This resilience reduces downtime and maintenance intervals, delivering a dependable measurement platform for long-term installations.

Compact profile that simplifies installation

A very low-profile footprint and a lightweight body (approx. 0.03 kg) enable straightforward integration into confined assemblies and mobile test rigs. The compact design minimises lever arms and parasitic forces, improving measurement linearity when mounted close to load application points. Clear mechanical benefits include easier fixture design and faster machine assembly, which aid throughput and shorten commissioning times in production or R&D setups.

Certified accuracy for demanding applications

Classified OIML class G1, the cell offers a reliable baseline of accuracy for calibration tasks and comparative testing. The 10 kg nominal load (100 N) is appropriate for small to medium force ranges common in component testing, biomechanics and precision manufacturing. CE and RoHS conformity underline regulatory compliance, while the robust construction supports stable calibration characteristics and repeatable readings — a practical advantage when documented traceability and measurement certainty are required.
