Load cells are often exposed to continuous usage, aging, output drift, overload and improper handling, which can impact their accuracy over time. ⏱ That's why we highly recommend a yearly recalibration interval to help confirm whether the sensor has maintained its accuracy and to provide a load cell calibration certificate to show that the sensor still meets specifications. 💡 This is where FUTEK comes in. Our technical team is ready to support you with calibrations that offer a ❗5 day turnaround compared to the 4-8 week norm of the industrial market❗ Check out our services here ➡ https://bit.ly/41ZZPZz Check out our calibration services for FUTEK and non-FUTEK sensors and let us help you maintain the accuracy of your load cells. ✅ #LoadCellCalibration #EngineeringAccuracy #CalibrationServices

FUTEK is supporting the Columbia Space Initiative Rocketry team for a second year as they advance their engineering capabilities. This year, the team aimed for a higher target altitude with a significantly taller rocket. To achieve this, they integrated our IDA100 Strain gauge amplifier with digital an analog output and two versatile LSB350 tension and compression S-beam load cells, known for their varied capacities and configurations. These tools provided crucial data to lead the CSI Rocketry team to a new school record. We extend our best wishes to the team for this year's project and look forward to following the developments of the 2024-2025 rocket. Check out this year's rocket here: https://lnkd.in/gAWZmAre
