2519 Series Load Cells 2519-200

Instron® load cells are an integral part of a materials testing system. The 2519-200 load cells are specifically designed for use
with Instron’s 3300 Single column testing systems. The design, manufacture, and performance verification is conducted with
materials testing applications in mind and the cells are certified in accordance with international standards. Interchangeability,
along with transducer recognition and automatic calibration, makes them easy to use. The cells maintain accurate alignment and
are resistant to offset loading throughout a test, even when large, oversized specimens are being tested. The cells can withstand
loads up to 150% or more of their rated capacity, allowing the user to zero out the weight of a fixture that weighs up to 50% of the
rated load cell capacity, while still maintaining specified accuracy through its full nominal capacity range. Instron load cells are
tested for accuracy and repeatability on calibration apparatus that is traceable to international standards, with a measurement
uncertainty that does not exceed one third of the permissible error of the load cell.

Principle of Operation Features and Benefits

Instron load cells are precision force transducers that • Rated capacities from ±10 N - ±5 kN
utilize a full strain gauge bridge bonded to internal, (1 - 500 kgf, 2.2 - 1,125 lbf)
load-bearing structures. When mechanically stressed, • Operates in tension, compression, and reverse
the electrical resistance of the strain gauges changes, stress modes
thus changing the output signal of the bridge. This • Auto recognition with electronic serial number and
output signal is then conditioned for display readouts electrical calibration
in accordance with international standards. • Ability to withstand loads of at least 150% of rated capacity
Accessoriess for Materials Testing

• Excellent linearity through tension and compression

The load cell structure’s high-axial stiffness reduces the • In compliance with ASTM E4, ISO 7500/1 class 0.5,
stored energy that can be transferred to the specimen
and JIS B7721, B7733
at break, thus reducing false values. Increased lateral
stiffness reduces measurement errors from off-axis loading
that is commonly found when performing compression and
flexural tests or where specimens fail by tearing. The load
cells are designed to perform in tension, compression,
and reverse stress modes, eliminating the need to
change cells frequently.
