Overview
The MK517 is a single-point cantilever beam load cell machined from 17-4PH stainless steel with a nickel-plated surface. Its low installation height and self-stabilizing structure deliver high combined accuracy and excellent long-term stability, making it a popular choice for platform and batching scales.
Key Features
- Low profile design for easy integration into platform scales
- High combined accuracy with a self-stabilizing measuring structure
- 17-4PH stainless steel body with nickel-plated, corrosion-resistant surface
- Excellent long-term stability for continuous industrial weighing
- Available in five capacities from 220 kg to 4,400 kg
Applications
Batching scales, hopper scales, packaging scales, weigh feeders, platform scales and batching plants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can one MK517 load cell support an off-center loaded platform?
Yes. As a single-point load cell, the MK517 is designed to carry off-center loads on small platforms, so one unit is sufficient where four corner-mounted cells would otherwise be required.
What is the standard output signal of the MK517?
The rated output is 1.94 ± 0.02 % mV/V, compatible with all standard weighing indicators and amplifiers.
