Excellent overload capacity from new load cell

Tedea-Huntleigh Europe have designed a highly cost-effective, weld-sealed stainless steel, single point load cell which can withstand all the rigours of use in harsh environments.

Using the latest computer techniques, together with their extensive experience, Tedea-Huntleigh Europe have been successful in designing a highly cost-effective, weld-sealed stainless steel, single point load cell which can withstand all the rigours of use in harsh environments.

The Model 1510, which has OIML approval to 4000 divisions, has been specifically designed for use in legal for trade bench scales with platform sizes up to 600mm square and is available in capacities of 100, 250 and 500kg.

The approval permits utilisation down to 30% of load cell capacity.

This means that, for instance, the 100kg version can be used in 30kg x 10g capacity scales.

The ability to do this provides excellent overload capability without loss in performance.

Until now, designers of high capacity bench scales for use in harsh environments, have either had to use aluminium single point load cells or go to the expense of using standard beam cells in multiples or with complex flexure arrangements.

The clean lines of this load cell, together with the weld-sealed IP 68 stainless steel construction and proprietary cable entry seal, mean that the 1510 can be used in food processing, slaughter house, off-shore and chemical process applications where equipment is subjected to regular wash down.

EEx certification means that the 1510 can be used in all hazardous area zone classifications.

The 1510, which will be added to Tedea-Huntleigh's extensive range of OIML and CENELEC certified stainless steel load cells, is also ideally suited for a diverse range of process weighing applications including belt scales, bag fillers, overhead scales and hopper scales.
