CK Pancake (Low profile) Load Cell (ATEX)

Compact compression load cell with stainless steel housing. Ideal for space-limited industrial weighing and force monitoring applications.


Key features

  • 17-4 PH stainless steel construction
  • Low profile from 200 kg to 2500 kg
  • Combined error ≤ ±0.5%
  • IP67 protection rating
  • Certified for hazardous zones (ATEX & IECEx)
  • Calibration certificate available on request

Performance highlights

The CK compression load cell delivers reliable and accurate force measurements across a wide range of capacities (200 kg to 2500 kg). Built from corrosion-resistant 17-4 PH stainless steel, it ensures consistent performance even in harsh environments. With a low combined error of ≤ ±0.5% and a stable output of 1 mV/V, the CK sensor offers dependable results for demanding industrial tasks.

Usage conditions

The sensor operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +70 °C, with a compensated range of -10 °C to +50 °C. With a safe overload capacity of 120% and a robust IP67-rated housing, it’s engineered to resist moisture, dust, and mechanical stress.

Possible applications

  • Platform and tank weighing
  • Press force monitoring
  • Industrial automation
  • Material testing systems
  • R&D and OEM equipment
  • Force calibration setups

Advantages of choosing this product

This low-profile compression load cell is the ideal choice for engineers looking to integrate reliable force sensing into compact mechanical structures. It supports optional ATEX and IECEx certifications for hazardous zones and offers traceable calibration to ISO 376 or ASTM E74 standards on request.
