Introduction
The Load Cell, 100 N is designed to work with the PASCO Struc-
tures System. When connected to a PASCO interface through the
PS-2198 Load Cell Amplifier, the Load Cell can measure com-
pression and tension forces in any component of the PASCO
Structures System.
For example, the PASCO Structures System includes the
ME-6990 Truss Set, ME-6991 Bridge Set, and the ME-6992
Advanced Structures Set.
About the Load Cell
The PS-2200 Load Cell measures forces ranging from -100 N to
100 N and is wired with a male 6-pin min-DIN connector for
plugging into the PS-2198 Load Cell Amplifier.

The PS-2198 Load Cell Amplifier supports up to six PS-2200
Load Cells. The PS-2199 Load Cell and Amplifier Set includes
one Load Cell Amplifier and four Load Cells.
Adding Load Cells
To measure the compression and tension forces in individual
members, add load cells (PS-2200) 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
