S-Beam Static Load Cells
2519 Series
-
The 2519-xxxN Series load cells are specifically designed for use with 3300 single column testing systems. Automatic transducer recognition and electrical calibration makes them easy to use. The load cells incorporate overload protection and can withstand loads up to 150% of their force capacity without damage and 300% without mechanical failure. The load cells allow the user to zero out the tare weight of a grip or fixture that weighs up to 40% of the force capacity, while still maintaining the full specified accuracy.

Bi-axial Dynacell Load Cells
2527 Series
-
During tests carried out on servohydraulic machines, elements of the system are subject to acceleration. As a result, in addition to the force applied to the specimen, the load cell also reads forces resulting from its own movement and the mass of the grips and fixtures attached to it. Dynacell is the world's first truly dynamic load cell, designed from the outset for measuring dynamic loads. Dynacell introduces the following advantages:*Reduces dynamic load errors which can be a significant percentage of reading *Increases productivity by allowing higher frequency operation while maintaining test validity *Improvements such as doubling the frequency are common

Furnaces
-
These three zone resistance wire wound furnaces are of split construction to facilitate fast and easy loading of a pre-assembled specimen train. The case is constructed from stainless steel with aluminium and hardened insulation board end plates. The optional front cut-out allows the use of side-entry high-temperature extensometry. Adjustable stainless steel latches keep the furnace halves locked together during use, but are then easily opened once testing is complete. The furnace is available with optional heavy duty brackets or mountings, which attach to a wide range of testing systems. An extensive range of standard controllers is available to suit most test regimes. Custom variants can be specified should the standard range not include a suitable unit.

Static Load Cells (500 N to 600 kN)
2580 Series
-
The Instron 2580 Series static load cells are high-precision force transducers optimized for use with 5900 and 6800 Series universal testing systems, capable of measuring loads across a wide range (up to ±600 kN) with accuracy to 0.5 % of reading and sensitivity down to 1/1000th of full scale. Temperature-compensated and calibrated on equipment traceable to international standards, they have automatic recognition with an electronic serial number and support electronic calibration, while offering overload protection (up to 150 % without damage, 300 % without mechanical failure). The 2580’s design delivers high stiffness and reliable alignment under load—making it a robust choice for tension, compression, cyclic, and reverse stress testing in materials and components.
