1201-Style Compression Low-Profile Load Cells
This high load capacity transducer is a compression-only low-profile load cell using a spherical load introduction surface to reduce sensitivity to small contact misalignments. The outer flange still needs a rigid, flat support and the specified fastener pattern.
Confirm the bolt circle and center thread.
2–1,800 kN family request envelope · High-strength alloy steel; finish and contact hardness by drawing. Servo press-fit · die closure · hydraulic press monitoring.

Original engineering illustration. Geometry and fasteners depend on the agreed configuration.
Define the load envelope behind the number.
- Identify the mating platen material, contact geometry and spherical button radius.
- Submit the press force-time profile, impact peaks and machine stopping distance.
- Verify clearance at peak deflection and include the base in the requested calibration setup.
Reference review: Interface 1201 family; exact installed model required. Original brand references do not establish fit, approval or affiliation.
Questions to settle before the fixture is frozen.
Is the load button integral or replaceable?
Identify the mating platen material, contact geometry and spherical button radius.
What is the total installed height with the mating base?
Submit the press force-time profile, impact peaks and machine stopping distance.
How should press impact and overload be specified?
Verify clearance at peak deflection and include the base in the requested calibration setup.
Packed mass and freight are itemized.
Compact models (1–25 kN): DHL Express parcel quotation with destination-specific transit estimates. Intermediate models (over 25 to under 50 kN): shipping assessed by packed mass. Heavy-capacity models (50–2,000 kN), including base assemblies: itemized DHL/FedEx heavy air freight on the formal Proforma Invoice. Availability, dispatch, customs and final freight are confirmed for the actual assembly and destination.
Control contact geometry and the complete press stack.
| Decision | Review input / acceptance |
|---|---|
| Spherical load introduction | Confirm integral versus replaceable button, contact radius, platen material and surface condition. |
| Installed stack | Compare cell-only, with-base and button-to-platen heights; keep deflection clearance. |
| Press duty | Submit normal peak, possible impact/overshoot and protection/stop behavior. |
The engineering brief defines a request. The released datasheet and STEP file are supplied for the reviewed part and revision.
Approve the calibration boundary with the fixture.
Specify whether the calibration covers the sensor alone or the sensor, mounting base, button, cable and amplifier as a system. Request traceability and uncertainty for the actual force range and direction.
Review calibration, standards and record requirements ↗For a replacement, retain the full original model, both drawing revisions and the receiving instrument configuration. Machine verification is a separate acceptance step.
Request a calibration plan ↗Bring the load path.
We’ll review the fit.
Send your capacity, center thread and mounting envelope. Include the full original part number when replacing an installed sensor.
CAD and test reports are supplied for the agreed configuration. No generic drawing is presented as an approved production part.
