Platform Load Cell 1260

The load cell model 1260 is developed for very large, inexpensive standard platform scales market. With its simple mechanical design and large mounting surfaces you can quickly and simply development a large platform scale . The applications include belt weighing, check weighing and bag filling. Other applications include overhead rail weighing, dispensing and pallet scales as well as industrial applications, such as the overload protection of lifting devices used in the conveying and handling of paper and steel products. The Model 1260 like many platform load cells, has a dual beam mechanical design. Each load cell is manufactured using an optimised complex machining process. This means that there will be no measurement error when the load is placed off centre, eg in a corner of a platform. A platform scale can simply be constructed using this load cell. You have to mount the load cell between two steel or aluminium plates up to 600 mm square, securing the bottom plate to the threaded holes in the underside of the load cell (cable entry end) and the top plate to the threaded holes on the upper face (opposite cable entry end). The load cell then has to connected to a suitable display or readout. The 1260 platform load cell can be supplied with an optional ATEX II 2G EEx ia IIC T4 certificate for use in hazardous gas areas - Zone 1 & 2. The 1260 load cell is fitted with a 6 core shielded cable as standard. Special cables and lengths are available on request.
