FCK Bending beam load cell
Compact bending beam load cell made of stainless steel for accurate force measurement in low-range weighing applications.
Key features
- Capacity range from 5 kg to 10 kg
- Made of 17-4 PH stainless steel
- Combined error ≤ ±0.02%
- IP68 protection class
- ATEX & IECEx certification options
- Compact dimensions for easy integration
Performance highlights
The FCK Bending Beam Load Cell is designed for precision in low-capacity measurement scenarios. Its robust construction in 17-4 PH stainless steel ensures long-term stability and resistance to harsh environments. With a combined error of ≤ ±0.02% and rated output of 2 mV/V, it delivers consistent and reliable results for weighing and force applications.
Usage conditions
This sensor is fully sealed to IP68, making it suitable for washdown and industrial applications. It operates reliably from -30 °C to +65 °C, with a compensated temperature range of -10 °C to +40 °C. The device withstands up to 200% of full-scale overload, ensuring mechanical safety in demanding setups.
