  • PTC Single-Point Load Cell

PTC Single-point load cel

Compact and high-precision single-point load cell for platform scales up to 400x400 mm, ideal for OEM integration and harsh environments.


Key features

  • AISI 420 stainless steel construction
  • Extremely low combined error ≤ ±0.02%
  • IP67 protection rating for harsh environments
  • Designed for 400x400 mm platforms
  • Wide capacity range: 30 kg to 150 kg
  • OIML R60 certified

Performance highlights

The PTC Single-point load cell offers high accuracy and stability thanks to its low combined error of ≤ ±0.02% and a rated output of 2 mV/V ±10%. It supports capacities from 30 kg up to 150 kg and ensures consistent measurements across a 400x400 mm platform area.

Usage conditions

Built from AISI 420 stainless steel, this load cell is robust and corrosion-resistant. It operates in a wide temperature range from -20 °C to +60 °C and meets IP67 protection standards, making it suitable for industrial and outdoor weighing applications.

Possible applications

  • Platform scales (up to 400x400 mm)
  • Packaging machines
  • Checkweighers
  • Process automation systems
  • Industrial OEM weighing integrations

Advantages of choosing this product

The PTC combines compact size with outstanding precision and ruggedness. Its compliance with OIML R60 ensures reliability in legal-for-trade applications, while optional ATEX and IECEx certifications enable safe use in explosive environments.
