Miniature Button Load Cell CO 100‑Y1 — stainless steel, 100 kg nominal load, IP65 — KERN

The Miniature Button Load Cell CO 100‑Y1 provides compact, high‑precision compression sensing for test benches, research and industrial weighing applications

• Miniature button design for compact installations
• High accuracy: combined error 0.5% F.S.
• Stainless steel construction with IP65 protection
• Suitable for compression, weight and force testing

Dependable accuracy for measured results

The KERN CO 100‑Y1 is engineered for high precision in compression and weighing tasks, delivering a combined error of 0.5% F.S. and compliance with OIML class G5. This level of accuracy reduces measurement uncertainty on test rigs and in calibration applications; the combined error figure describes the total of linearity, hysteresis and repeatability and therefore gives a realistic expectation of performance in everyday use. For procurement and specification, the clear technical rating simplifies decisions and supports traceable measurement chains.

Robust stainless‑steel design for workshop conditions

Constructed from stainless steel, the sensor resists corrosion and mechanical wear while remaining compact and lightweight (approx. 0.05 kg). The IP65 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and water jets, allowing safe use in lab environments and harsher production areas where splash or airborne particles occur. The button form factor reduces the space required for mounting, making it straightforward to integrate into fixtures and small test stations without compromising mechanical resilience.

Straightforward integration with amplifiers and test rigs

The transducer delivers a rated sensitivity of 1.0–1.5 mV/V, which is compatible with standard signal conditioners and instrumentation amplifiers used in laboratories and industrial measurement systems. With a nominal capacity of 100 kg / 1 kN, the unit suits light to medium force ranges typical in R&D, component testing and assembly-line checks. Understanding the mV/V output allows correct selection of excitation voltage and amplifier gain to achieve optimal resolution and noise performance for the measurement task.

Broad applicability across industries and test setups

Designed for compression and weight measurement, the module is suitable for research and development, machine testing, automotive component checks, medical‑technology fixtures and calibration workshops. RoHS conformity confirms the device meets relevant material and environmental standards, supporting procurement policies that favour compliant components. The compact sensor simplifies fixture design and reduces system inertia, helping to improve test repeatability and cycle times where small form factor sensors are required.
