1 / 6CALT DYMH-103 20 kg Mini Tension and Compression Load Cell
Mini Load Cell: CALT DYMH-103 is a compact tension and compression force sensor listed for a 0–20 kg range. Its small-space design and stated 1.0–1.5 mV/V sensitivity suit measurement setups that already support the sensor’s signal and excitation requirements.
At a glance
- Designed to measure both tension and compression forces.
- Compact, low-height construction is intended for space-limited installations.
- The listing gives a 0–20 kg range and recommends 0–10V excitation.
- Stainless steel is specified for the sensor material.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Tension and compression measurement supports force applications in either loading direction.
- Low-height, compact form can suit installations where space is constrained.
- The stated sensitivity and excitation guidance provide key inputs for planning a compatible measurement circuit.
Cons
- The listing describes a sensor rather than a complete readout system, so measurement electronics may be needed for an operational setup.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the product title states 20kg, while the feature gives 0-20kg, and the listed 44 pounds item weight appears difficult to reconcile with the mini-sensor description. Confirm the actual sensor capacity and weight with the selected listing before purchasing. The 0–10V value is recommended excitation, not an output specification.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Engineers and integrators building compact force-measurement fixtures.
- Automation, assembly, or testing setups that need a tension-and-compression sensor within the stated range.
- Buyers who can match the sensor’s sensitivity and excitation requirements to their own measurement electronics.
Less suited to
- Buyers seeking a standalone digital force gauge or a complete measurement-and-display system.
- Applications requiring a confirmed capacity above the stated 0–20 kg range.
- Installations where dimensions, weight, or mounting details must be confirmed before design-in.

The available rating is a single five-star rating, which is too limited to establish a dependable picture of customer experience or identify specific strengths and concerns. Buyers should base fit primarily on the listed tension-and-compression function, stated range, and system compatibility, while confirming the contradictory capacity and weight details.
Frequently asked questions
What force range is listed for the CALT DYMH-103?
The feature text states 0-20kg, while the title says 20kg. The listing does not clarify that difference, so confirm the intended range before use.
Can it measure both tension and compression?
Yes. The product is described as a mini tension and compression force sensor.
What excitation does it recommend?
The listing recommends 0-10V excitation. It does not specify the sensor’s output voltage range.
Does it include a digital display or amplifier?
No display or amplifier is identified in the supplied listing details. Treat it as a sensor component and confirm what your setup needs.
