Overview
The MK1700 is a rail-break-type force sensor for dynamic weighing and rail-integrity monitoring. It installs quickly, responds fast, and resists interference for stable output on moving-axle duty, supporting train weighing as well as broken-rail detection. A rugged design keeps measurements dependable in demanding trackside environments.
Key Features
- Fast response with strong interference rejection
- Supports dynamic train weighing and rail-break detection
- Simple, quick installation for trackside duty
- High accuracy (≤0.2%F.S) for precise measurement
- Alloy steel elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
- Sealed to IP65 for reliable operation in harsh environments
Applications
Mainly used in dynamic track scales, coal-tower scales, and axle-counting systems for weighing moving trains and detecting rail breaks.
