Platform Load Cell 1510

The load cell 1510 is developed for applications in harsh industrial environments where aggressive chemicals are present or there may be high humidity. Due to its extreme torsional rigidity, the 1510 is ideally suited to measurement of dynamic signals. With its ideal mechanical design and large mounting surfaces you can easily 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 handling and conveying of paper and steel products. The Model 1510 design 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 quickly 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 1510 platform load cell can be supplied with an optional ATEX II 1GD EEx ia IIC T6 certificate for use in hazardous gas and dust areas - Zone 0,1, 2 & Zone 20, 21, 22. The 1510 load cell is fitted with a six core shielded cable as standard. Special cables and lengths are available on request.
