Static Load Cells (500 N to 600 kN)

2580 Series - Instron

The Instron 2580 Series static load cells are high-precision force transducers optimized for use with 5900 and 6800 Series universal testing systems, capable of measuring loads across a wide range (up to ±600 kN) with accuracy to 0.5 % of reading and sensitivity down to 1/1000th of full scale. Temperature-compensated and calibrated on equipment traceable to international standards, they have automatic recognition with an electronic serial number and support electronic calibration, while offering overload protection (up to 150 % without damage, 300 % without mechanical failure). The 2580’s design delivers high stiffness and reliable alignment under load—making it a robust choice for tension, compression, cyclic, and reverse stress testing in materials and components.
