Overview
The MK501 is a cantilever beam load cell with a fixed-end, load-at-the-other design that gives a low center of gravity, easy installation and excellent interchangeability. Its simple, dependable structure supports accurate platform and batching weighing.
Key Features
- High accuracy (±0.03%F.S) for precise measurement
- Alloy steel elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
- Sealed to IP67 / IP68 for reliable operation in harsh environments
- Standard output 2.0mV/V (1kN–3kN, 30kN–50kN);2.5mV/V (25kN);3.0mV/V (5kN–20kN), compatible with common indicators
- Compact design for straightforward integration
Applications
Used in platform scales and batching or dosing control systems.
