burster 8523 type is used to measure static and quasi-static tensile or pressure forces.
The Burster 8523 and 8531 series are tension‑compression load cells designed for static and semi‑static force measurement in manufacturing, laboratory and testing environments. They feature a compact aluminium construction, three‑point mounting, and a full‑bridge strain‑gauge element that converts load into an electrical signal.
