CO.500‑Y2 Miniature Button Load Cell — Stainless‑steel, 500 kg, IP65 (KERN)

The CO.500‑Y2 Miniature button load cell is a compact stainless‑steel sensor designed for tensile and compressive force measurement in weighing systems and test rigs across research, automotive and medical applications

• Miniature button design for tight spaces
• Stainless‑steel construction, RoHS compliant
• Rated capacity 500 kg with OIML class G5
• IP65 protection for dusty and damp environments

Precision where counts reduce rejections

The compact stainless‑steel sensor delivers repeatable results thanks to a low combined error of 0.5% F.S. and certification to OIML class G5, making it suitable for applications that require verifiable measurement quality. The nominal output of 1.5–2.0 mV/V provides a clear electrical signal for downstream amplifiers and data acquisition systems, simplifying integration into existing measurement chains while supporting reliable process control.

Robust construction for long‑term uptime

Built from stainless steel and rated IP65, this miniature load cell withstands dust ingress and light water jets, reducing the need for frequent replacements in workshop and lab environments. The button‑style form factor minimises occupied space and enables direct installation in force test jigs and compact weighing stations. RoHS conformity further demonstrates adherence to environmental standards without compromising mechanical performance.

Clear technical compatibility for system designers

The sensor suits both tensile and compressive tasks and is specified for weighing and force measurement duties in test benches, calibration rigs and R&D setups. With a rated capacity of 500 kg and a nominal output suited to common instrumentation, the unit integrates with standard amplifiers, controllers and A/D converters. The small mass of 0.47 kg eases handling and mounting calculations in dynamic assemblies.

Practical benefits that save time and effort

Using a miniature button load cell can reduce installation complexity and shorten commissioning time by providing a compact, sealed sensing element with industry‑grade accuracy. The robust signal and standardised performance class mean fewer validation cycles and more predictable measurement data, helping to accelerate development and testing workflows while supporting traceable measurement results.
