Performance highlights APL Single-point load cell

The APL is a robust single-point load cell designed for weighing platforms up to 600x600 mm. With available capacity ranges from 50 kg to 500 kg and a combined error of ≤ ±0.02% (or 0.017% for C4 class), it ensures precise and repeatable results for industrial weighing applications.

Usage conditions

Made from high-grade aluminum alloy and sealed to IP65, the APL is ideal for dusty and lightly wet environments. It meets OIML R60 C3 standards and supports optional C4 accuracy, as well as ATEX and IECEx certifications for use in explosive zones (0, 1, 2, 21, 22).

Possible applications

  • Industrial platform scales (600x600 mm)
  • Packaging and dosing machines
  • Legal-for-trade weighing systems
  • Explosion-proof weighing environments
  • OEM weighing modules and integrations

Advantages of choosing this product

The APL offers a great balance of durability, certification, and cost-efficiency. Its availability up to 500 kg with multiple certification options makes it highly flexible for OEM and system integrator applications. Installation is straightforward with optional accessories like the BLOCAPL stainless steel mounting block or IP68APL waterproof kit.
