7MH5108-5AD00, Siemens SIWAREX WL Series Load Cell, 10 t Range, Compression Measure

Siemens Load Cell, 89mm Diameter - Siwarex Series - 7MH5108-5AD00

This load cell from Siemens accurately measures the mechanical force exerted by objects. The measuring element is a solid stainless steel cylinder to which four strain gauges are applied. When weight bears down on the unit, the gauges deform elastically. This generates a measuring signal voltage that is proportional to the load. You can use this device to measure a wide range of nominal loads for alignment and equipment protection. An IP68 (ingress protection) rating means it's shielded from dust and can withstand water submersion for up to 30 minutes. This load cell is suitable for use in container, hopper and vehicle scales.

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Predominantly hermetically sealed housing for use in harsh environments ranging from -35°C to +65°C
• Compact size (22mm long) means you can use it in small spaces
• Suitable for loads ranging from 500kg to 5t for versatile use

What's the sensitivity of a load cell?

Load cell sensitivity refers to the smallest force a device can reliably detect. You can think of it as the minimum force or weight required to register an electrical measurement.
