CO.20‑Y1 Miniature button load cell, stainless steel, IP65 protection

The CO.20‑Y1 is a miniature button load cell designed for precise compression and weight measurement in compact installations and test rigs.

• Miniature button design for tight spaces
• Stainless steel housing, corrosion-resistant
• High accuracy: combined error 0.5% F.S.
• IP65 protection for harsh environments

Precision that keeps production consistent

The miniature load sensor delivers high precision with a combined error of 0.5% F.S., making it suitable where repeatability and traceable results matter. Its nominal output (1.0–1.5 mV/V) supports direct integration with common amplifiers and data acquisition systems, enabling reliable signal conditioning without complex electronics. This accuracy reduces rework and supports consistent quality control in research, calibration and production testing.

Robust design for long-term reliability

Encased in stainless steel, the compact sensor withstands workshop and laboratory conditions while maintaining measurement integrity. The IP65 rating provides protection against dust and water jets, so the cell remains serviceable in environments where splash protection and cleaning are required. The combination of corrosion-resistant material and sealed construction minimises maintenance needs and extends service intervals for busy test benches and automated setups.

Versatile integration across industries

Designed for compression applications, the unit suits weight and force measurement tasks in areas such as automotive testing, medical device development, machine building and calibration technology. Classified as OIML G5, the sensor supports precise measurements for both test stands and weighing tasks up to 20 kg capacity, offering a balanced solution for compact force transducers and miniature weighing systems.

Straightforward electrical characteristics and compact footprint

The compact construction and low mass aid installation in confined assemblies and fixtures. With an output of 1.0–1.5 mV/V, the transducer interfaces readily with typical amplifiers and data loggers used in metrology and test environments. The miniature button format allows integration beneath fixtures or within limited free space while preserving mechanical stability and measurement fidelity.
