About the ALF207 Load Washer

The ALF207 is ideally suited to engineering force measurements where overall height is restricted; if a slight increase in height is acceptable the ALF313 may be a better choice. It is designed for easy installation, usually between two flat faces bearing on its loading rings, either unattached or with retaining spigots positioned in the center hole. Alternatively tensile load transfer can be achieved via a tie rod assembly through the center hole. In this way the loadcell can indirectly measure tensile loads in a “fail-safe” mode.

We are happy to design variants of this loadcell to meet your specific requirements. Versions can be
manufactured for fully compensated operation up to +250°C. Please consult our engineering department.

Geometry: Axial strain cylinder in weather sealed case, with raised end load bearing faces and hole right through. For use in compression or in fail-safe tensile applications on a wide range of OEM or end-user applications.

When this loadcell is rationalised the resistors are housed in a capsule located in the loadcell cable 100mm from the free end. Capsule dimensions are Ø10mm by 57mm.

Connections
For ranges up to 4 tonnes the loadcell is fitted with 2 metres of PVC insulated 4 core screened cable type 7-1- 4C. Ranges above 4 tonnes are fitted with 7-2-4C cable.

• Excitation + = Red Signal + = Yellow Screen = Orange
• Excitation - = Blue Signal - = Green

The screen is not connected to the loadcell body.
