Overview
The MK517 is a stainless-steel cantilever beam load cell with a low mounting height, high overall accuracy and a self-stabilising design that holds its calibration over the long term. Its nickel-plated body resists corrosion in busy plant environments, making it a dependable choice for continuous industrial weighing.
Key Features
- High accuracy (≤0.02%F.S) for precise measurement
- 17-4 stainless steel elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
- Sealed to IP68 for reliable operation in harsh environments
- Standard output 1.94 ± 0.02%mV/V, compatible with common indicators
- Compact design for straightforward integration
Applications
Widely used in batching and dosing scales, hopper scales, packaging scales, platform scales and concrete batching plants.
