RAETECH's Sway Bar Droplink Load Cells provide NASCAR® competitors with accuracy and reliability while maintaining a very small package size. At only 1.60" long, Sway Bar Link Load Cells are available with 5/16"-24, 3/8"-24, 7/16"-20, or 1/2"-20 threads (left and right thread pairs). This load cell is also ideally suited for push rod and tie rod applications.
Measuring sway bar loads in stock cars is difficult because of the short center-to-center distance coupled with the large angularity changes in long travel, stiff bar, soft spring setups. Through careful engineering, we are able to offer a bolt-on part with better than 1lb/count resolution. Full calibration data is supplied with each link.
Sway Bar Drop Link Load Cells are supplied with an inline amplifier that provides a 0.1 - 4.9V output. It has a mechanically and environmentally shielded load element and strain relieved, armored lead wire. Alternate gains and offsets are user configurable with the optional SG Amp Programmer.
Detailed calibration information comes with each of our load cells and most 12-bit data acquisition systems will yield about 1 lb/count resolution. Raetech engineers are always pleased to discuss how our load sensing equipment can benefit your program.
