Overview
The MK101-T is a spoke-type load cell based on the proven shear-stress measurement principle, offering strong resistance to off-centre loads, high accuracy, and a compact, low-profile build. Its low height makes it a good fit where mounting space is limited, and stable output supports precise weighing and force control.
Key Features
- Shear-stress spoke measurement principle
- Low-profile build for tight installations
- Strong off-centre-load resistance
- High accuracy (≤0.05 / 0.1%F.S) for precise measurement
- Alloy steel elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
- Standard output 2.0 ± 0.25 mV/V, compatible with common indicators
Applications
Used in testing machines, truck scales, hopper scales, and industrial process-control systems, and for structural-health monitoring of bridges and buildings.
