Overview
The MK101 is a spoke-type load cell designed specifically for testing machines and usable for both tension and compression. Working on the classic shear-stress measurement principle, it combines strong off-centre-load resistance, high accuracy and a compact, low-profile structure that fits easily into installations with limited headroom.
Key Features
- Tension and compression dual use
- Classic shear-stress principle
- Low profile for tight spaces
- High accuracy (≤0.05 / 0.1%F.S) for precise measurement
- Alloy steel elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
- Standard output 1.5-3.0mV/V, compatible with common indicators
Applications
Widely installed on material testing machines, truck scales, hopper scales and industrial process weighing and control systems.
