Static Load Cells (5 N to 300 kN)
2530 Series
-
The Instron 2530 Series static load cells are precision force transducers engineered for versatile use in tension, compression, cyclic, and reverse stress testing, delivering accurate measurements down to 1/500th of their capacity. Individually temperature-compensated and calibrated, they support automatic recognition and electronic calibration, and are built to international force-measurement standards (ASTM E4, ISO 7500-1 class 0.5, and JIS B7721, B7733). With overload protection (150 % of rating without damage, 300 % without mechanical failure), the 2530 family offers consistent, repeatable performance across a wide force range (5 N to 300 kN).2530 Series load cells with capacities of 5 N to 100 N are for use with 3300, 3400, 5900, and 6800 Series testing systems.2530 Series Load cells with capacities of 500 N to 300 kN are for use with 3300 and 3400 Series testing systems.

Crack Opening Displacement (COD) gauges
COD
-
Instron® Crack Opening Displacement transducers are designed specifically to perform standard ASTM and ISO fracture mechanics tests (both cyclic and static), covering all common specimen geometries (CT, SEB, Centre Crack, Arc Shaped). Each model offers class leading linearity, whilst being rugged enough to withstand the high energy release common in many of these applications and can be used at both elevated and sub-ambient temperatures. These gauges comply with requirements laid down in ASTM E399-09.

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
