296AS Miniature Stainless Steel Load Button
The Anyload 296AS is a 17-4PH stainless steel compression load button force sensor available in capacities from 50 N to 200 kN (11.2 lb to 44,962 lb), rated IP66 and RoHS compliant with FM-approved hazardous-area options. Its through-bolt design enables direct integration into machine structures, making it ideal for press force monitoring, actuator testing, and automated assembly verification.
PRODUCT DETAILS
The 296AS is a very low-profile 17-4PH stainless steel compression load button engineered for precision force measurement in industrial automation, test and measurement, and OEM equipment. Its innovative through-bolt design allows a standard bolt to pass vertically through the sensor body, enabling the load cell to be integrated directly into machine structures, fixtures, and tooling without the need for specialized adapters. This geometry makes the 296AS a particularly practical solution for press force monitoring, servo actuator verification, clamping force measurement, and structural load testing in mechanical systems where compact, direct-mount sensing is required.
It covers a wide range of compression force measurement tasks, from precision laboratory testing equipment to heavy-duty industrial machinery and structural monitoring systems. The 17-4PH stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical durability, while IP66 sealing protects the sensor in industrial washdown and outdoor environments. Typical applications include robotic gripping force verification, automated assembly line quality control, materials testing systems, servo press monitoring, and actuator characterization in R&D and manufacturing environments.
Most Common Applications: Press force monitoring, servo actuator testing, robotic gripping verification, automated assembly validation, structural load testing, materials testing equipment, OEM force measurement integration.
