Overview
The MK208 is a square-body S-type load cell that measures both tension and compression with symmetrical output. Its compact, sturdy design offers straightforward installation and a wide specification range, and well-balanced output in both directions keeps measurements repeatable in dynamic force duty.
Key Features
- Handles tension and compression with symmetrical output
- Compact square-body S-type design
- Wide specification range, easy installation
- High accuracy (±0.05%F.S) for precise measurement
- Alloy steel elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
- Standard output 2.0 ± 0.025mV/V, compatible with common indicators
Applications
Used to build electromechanical combination scales, crane and hook scales, hopper scales, and various special-purpose and process scales.
