Tedea-Huntleigh Europe are introducing their high capacity, all stainless steel, 220 load cell foot assembly for heavy-duty industrial platform scales.

The ScaleFoot, which is available in two versions, is designed to be used with the company's 5 and 10 tonne 220 bending ring load cell.

The company claim that the unit greatly simplifies scale design and is ideally suited to pit-mounted scales, axle weighers and hopper scales.

The self aligning assembly has a central floating pin which ensures optimum load introduction and the design minimizes the effects of damaging side loads.

The standard foot has a threaded adjustable base which facilitates levelling on uneven surfaces.

A fully sealed version of the foot is available for applications in severe environments where flooding may be a regular occurrence.

The low profile stainless steel 220 bending ring load cell is fully weld-sealed and current calibrated outputs facilitate time-consuming corner correction routines.

Full OIML and CENELEC certification complete an impressive range of features.

A new version of this load cell is also now available which provides a robust bi-directional serial digital output, offering improved connectivity to PCs, PLCs, Bus systems and other control networks.

The ScaleFoot is part of Tedea-Huntleigh's comprehensive range of load cells and mounting assemblies which have been specifically designed for ease of use, high performance and integrity.
