Overview
The MK126 is a spoke type (shear web) load cell with a keyway mounting hole, rated at 600 kN / 60 t. Its low-profile elastic element works on the shear stress principle, offering an exceptionally compact structure with strong resistance to offset and lateral loads.
Key Features
- Low profile shear-web construction minimizes overall height
- Keyway hole for direct, rotation-proof force introduction
- Excellent resistance to eccentric and lateral loads
- Outstanding linearity and high measurement accuracy
- Ideal for tension and compression measurement where space is limited
Applications
Force measurement in press monitoring, material testing machines, silo and heavy-capacity weighing, and other tension/compression applications with restricted installation space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What advantages does a spoke type load cell offer over a column type?
The shear-web design is much shorter in height, far less sensitive to eccentric loads, and keeps its accuracy even when the force is not perfectly axial — critical in space-limited heavy-capacity installations.
Can the MK126 measure both tension and compression?
Yes. The MK126 accepts bidirectional loading, so it can be used for both tensile and compressive force measurement up to 600 kN.
