  • AU Single-Point Load Cell

AU Single-point load cell for platforms 250x400/400x600 mm

Compact and precise aluminum load cell for light-duty weighing platforms. Ideal for capacities from 3 kg to 50 kg.


Key features

  • Capacity range from 3 to 50 kg
  • Low-profile aluminum alloy construction
  • IP65 protection rating
  • Combined error ≤ ±0.02%
  • OIML R60 compliant
  • ATEX & IECEx certifications available

Performance highlights

The AU single-point load cell is a high-accuracy solution designed for light- to mid-capacity platform scales. With capacities ranging from 3 to 50 kg and a combined error of ≤ ±0.02%, it is ideal for compact weighing applications requiring precision and repeatability.

Usage conditions

Built from robust aluminum alloy and sealed to IP65 standard, the AU is designed for industrial environments requiring dust and water protection. Its low deflection and high overload tolerance make it suitable for dynamic or repetitive weighing operations.

Possible applications

  • Retail and bench scales
  • Light-duty industrial platform scales
  • Filling and dispensing machines
  • Parcel and shipping scales
  • Compact OEM integrations

Advantages of choosing this product

Certified to OIML R60 and available with optional ATEX and IECEx compliance, the AU combines reliability with global standards for legal-for-trade and hazardous zones. Its compact form factor, ease of installation, and linearity make it a preferred choice for precision platforms.

Other important features

  • Operating temperature: -20 °C to +60 °C
  • Compensated range: -10 °C to +40 °C
  • Safe overload: 120%, Ultimate: 200%
  • Zero balance: ±2%
  • Cable length: 3 m with 4-conductor shielded cable
