RS PRO Load Cell

RS PRO Bending Beam Load Cell

RS PRO introduces the RS PRO Bending Beam Load Cell. This load cell is made from stainless steel with a fully welded construction to ensure durability and long life for your product. This bending beam load cells low profile, high accuracy, high precision and sealing makes this bending type load cell perfect for a wide range of applications including weighing and packing machines and suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Features and Benefits

• This bending beam load cell has a fantastic range of rated KG load capacity from 5 KG to 500 KG to suit a variety of needs


• Low profile so the miniature load cell does not take up too much room or be cumbersome in your workplace


• Accuracy class of C3 which has been classified and tested per OIML R60, bending beam load cell complies with requirements specified exactly for a multitude of factors that are critical to the quality of the measuring results


• The beam load cell has an operating temperature of -20°C to 60°C making if perfect for a wide range of environments


• This bending beam load cell is made from stainless steel to ensure a tough and durable product


• Protection class of IP68 meaning your load cell is dust, dirt, sand and water-resistant


• The load cell has a non-linearity of 0.02%R.O


• Maximum excitation 15 VDC


• Temperature effect on output of the load cell is 0.002% R.O/°C

Applications

Load cells are transducers that transform a force, for example, tension, compression or torque into an electrical signal, this is then measured and standardised. Load cells come in a variety of types from S-type, shear beam, strain gauge, beam and compression load cells. Beam type load cells and force sensors are specially designed for low profile platform scales and a variety of other applications where hermetically sealed cells are needed and used in a variety of industries for example

• Hopper and silo scale


• Tank weighing


• Weighing and packing machines


• Conversion of mechanical scales


• Marine scales


• Hybrid scales


• Checking the filling level of tanks

How Does a Bending Beam Load Cell Work?

During the measuring, weight acts on the load cells metal spring element and causes elastic deformation. This strain, positive or negative, is then converted into an electrical signal by a strain gauge that is installed on the spring element.
