296AS Load Button
The ANYLOAD 296AS Load Button Load Cell is a compact compression force sensor designed for precision force measurement in industrial, test & measurement, and automation applications. Its low-profile load button geometry allows accurate measurement of compressive forces in tight mechanical spaces where traditional load cells cannot be installed. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and sealed for industrial environments, the 296AS delivers stable, repeatable measurements for OEM equipment, laboratory testing systems, robotics, and automated process monitoring.
Load button force sensors are widely used in press force monitoring, component testing, actuator verification, and automated assembly systems where direct compression force measurement is required. The 296AS incorporates precision strain gauge technology optimized for axial loading, allowing it to measure applied force directly through the loading surface with minimal structural deflection. Its threaded mounting configuration enables straightforward integration into fixtures, tooling, and machine frames commonly used in robotics, materials testing equipment, and industrial automation platforms.
Designed for OEM integration and engineering measurement systems, the 296AS provides a reliable sensing element for force feedback, validation testing, and process monitoring. Typical applications include servo press monitoring, robotic gripping force verification, actuator force measurement, and structural load testing. When paired with signal conditioners, amplifiers, or data acquisition systems, the sensor can be integrated into complete force measurement solutions used in R&D laboratories, manufacturing quality control, and automated production equipment.
