SL Tension and Compression Load Cell
High-accuracy load cell for both tension and compression applications, suitable for industrial scales and force measurement systems.
Key features
- Load range from 25 kg to 2500 kg
- Combined error ≤ ±0.02% (C4: 0.017%)
- IP67 environmental protection
- Nickel-plated steel body (AISI 4340)
- Output: 2 mV/V ±0.2%
- Available with international certifications (OIML, ATEX, IECEx, FM, etc.)
Performance highlights
The SL Load Cell offers exceptional measurement precision with a combined error as low as ±0.017% (C4 class). It supports bidirectional force measurement (tension and compression) and is compliant with OIML R60 accuracy class C3 and C4. With a nominal output of 2 mV/V and excellent thermal stability, it ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Usage conditions
Constructed from AISI 4340 nickel-plated steel, the SL load cell is highly durable and resistant to corrosion. It features an IP67 protection rating, making it suitable for outdoor and harsh conditions. Operating temperature ranges from -35 °C to +65 °C.
Possible applications
- Industrial weighing systems
- Mechanical scales with tension bars
- Force measurement in production lines
- OEM measurement systems
- Legal-for-trade systems requiring certified load cells
Advantages of choosing this product
The SL Load Cell combines robust build quality with outstanding accuracy and multiple certification options. It’s a versatile and reliable choice for force measurement applications requiring precise tension and compression data.
