Can the load cell be used to measure the force in the reverse direction (i.e. tension) as well? We have to mount the cell upside down, does it work in that configuration?

Asked by: Nima
Thank you for your question? The beam low cell comes calibrated in One Direction However it can measure in tension or compression. Hope this was helpful.
