FUTEK’s Load Button Accessories are used as a good load point for a sensor that is not going to actually be fastened to anything. Applications where you have something hitting or tapping the sensor may use the load buttons to provide a good point to hit or focus your force on. These Load Buttons can also be used by calibration so they don't have to screw in every sensor they calibrate. Specifically FUTEK’s Load Buttons are known as spherical radius buttons with screw attachments ultimately used as a convenient place to apply a load to a sensor also suitable for use with compression mounting assemblies, canisters, S-beams, and single-ended beams.

Product Highlights:

• J Threads
• 17-4PH stainless steel
• Sizes ranging from #4-40 to 3 ½ - 8
