I'm wanting to make a display for load cells, ...
Anyone here done anything like this? RogerN



The larger C clamps in my collection tighten to 1000 - 1500 lbs with
reasonable torque. There's an easy load cell frame if the range is enough
for you.

I'm thinking I can bolt a light duty load cell to a heavier bar and
calibrate. Most of the load cells I work with are rated to handle 150% load
before they are damaged, I think I can try using a 1.5 design factor and
hopefully the metal will deform the correct amount.
