Overview
The MK118 is a single-ended spoke load cell machined from quality alloy steel with a nickel-plated, corrosion-resistant surface. Its low profile keeps scale structures shallow while accuracy and stability remain high, and installation is simple and quick on the finished platform.
Key Features
- Alloy-steel body with nickel-plated finish
- Low profile for shallow scale platforms
- High accuracy and high stability
- Simple, quick installation
- High accuracy (≤0.1%F.S) for precise measurement
- Alloy steel elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
Applications
Material testing machines, vehicle weighbridges and truck scales, and large hopper or silo weighing.
