KERN CO.1000-Y2 Miniature button load cell — stainless steel, 1,000 kg capacity

The Miniature button load cell is a compact stainless-steel sensor designed for accurate tensile and compressive force and weight measurement in test benches, R&D and machine engineering.

• Miniature button design for compact installations
• High precision: combined error 0.5% F.S.
• Stainless steel construction, RoHS compliant
• IP65 protection for dusty and wet environments

Reliable accuracy for demanding measurements

The sensor delivers high precision in applications that demand repeatable results: a combined error of 0.5% F.S. and certification to OIML class G5 provide a transparent basis for comparison and calibration. These specifications mean that the device produces consistent readings across cycles, helping to shorten test repetition and increase throughput on measurement benches. Engineers benefit from a quantifiable performance parameter that simplifies traceability and quality assurance in both prototype evaluation and serial testing.

Compact design meets industrial robustness

A miniature button format and stainless steel construction allow installation in confined spaces without compromising mechanical resilience. The housing meets IP65 protection, offering resistance against dust ingress and water jets, which reduces the need for additional enclosures in many industrial settings. At around 0.47 kg, the unit is light enough for portable rigs yet robust enough for fixed test fixtures. The corrosion-resistant finish and RoHS conformity make it suitable for long-term use in laboratories and production where regulatory and environmental compliance is required.

Ready for integration across sectors and systems

Designed for straightforward electrical integration, the transducer outputs 1.5–2.0 mV/V, enabling connection to common instrumentation, amplifiers and digital indicators used in laboratories and automation systems. Typical application areas include research and development, machine testing, the automotive supply chain, medical device testing and calibration workshops. The manufacturer KERN supplies a compact product that supports both weight and force measurement scenarios, simplifying procurement where a single sensor type must serve multiple test set-ups.

Engineered to reduce downtime and simplify maintenance

Built for continuous operation, the load cell combines predictable measurement behaviour with minimal maintenance requirements. The stainless construction and ingress rating lower the risk of environmental damage, while the straightforward mechanical form factor eases replacement or retrofit on existing test rigs. This design reduces downtime and supports stable production processes, giving operators confidence in measurement results and allowing technicians to focus on process optimisation rather than frequent sensor upkeep.
