ULC and MLC Load Cell Sensors

Starrett ULC and MLC load cell sensors are full-bridge, temperature
compensated,strain gage instruments designed and optimized for material testing applications. These low profile sensors feature high axial stiffness and minimal deflection at full capacity which leads to improved measurement accuracy.
