Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a parallel beam load cell for a packaging scale?
Parallel beam cells keep their accuracy even when the load is not perfectly centered — exactly what happens on moving conveyors and packaging lines — and they resist the vibration typical of these applications.
Is the MK740 suitable for belt weighing?
Yes. With appropriate mounting, its fast, stable response suits electronic belt weighers and continuous weighing on conveyor lines.
