The Load Cell, 5 N is designed to work with the PASCO Struc-
tures System. When connected to a PASCO interface through the
PS-2198 Load Cell Amplifier or PS-2205 Dual Load Cell Ampli-
fier, the Load Cell can measure compression and tension forces
in any component of the PASCO Structures System.
For example, the PASCO Structures System includes the
ME-6987 Flat Structures Members, ME-6990 Truss Set,
ME-6991 Bridge Set, and the ME-6992 Advanced Structures Set.

The PS-2201 Load Cell measures forces ranging from -5 N to
+5 N and is wired with a male 6-pin mini-DIN connector for
plugging into a Load Cell Amplifier.

The PS-2198 Load Cell Amplifier supports up to six Load Cells.
The PS-2205 Dual Load Cell Amplifier supports two Load Cells.
The PS-2199 Load Cell and Amplifier Set includes one Load
Cell Amplifier and four 100 N Load Cells.
A dd i n g L o a d C e l l s
To measure the compression and tension forces in individual
members, add load cells to any PASCO Structure. Replace a
beam with two shorter beams and a load cell.
#5 beam = load cell + two #3 beams
#4 beam = load cell + two #2 beams
#3 beam = load cell + two #1 beams
