Bump Stop Load Cell
These Bump Stop Load Cells are not permitted during an actual race, but are used extensively in testing to identify the amount of down force each shock absorber is experiencing, and when contact is made with the bump stop.



Engineers at Stellar Technology (Amherst, NY) created a modified thru-hole load cell to measure the amount of down force the bump stops are experiencing. These Bump Stop Load Cells are not permitted during an actual race, but are used extensively in testing to identify the amount of down force each shock absorber is experiencing, and when contact is made with the bump stop. Features include:

  • Low profile case height of 0.5”.
  • Lower “S” dimension (hub).
  • Standard ID of 0.628” to 0.630” meant to fit on a common 5/8” shock absorber shaft.
  • Extended compensated temperature range of 70° to 250°F.
  • Integral Teflon cable with special shrink wrap for heat and weather resistance.
