Overview
The MK716 parallel-beam load cell is dimensionally compact, which is what allows precise force sensing inside small scale platforms and packaging heads. Alongside its modest size it delivers industrial accuracy, good eccentric-load behaviour and the steadiness required for repetitive automated weighing cycles.
Key Features
- High accuracy (≤0.03%F.S) for precise measurement
- Aluminum alloy elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
- Standard output 0.8mV/V±15%, compatible with common indicators
- Compact design for straightforward integration
Applications
Found in quantitative packaging and batching scales, small platform and bench weighing, hopper and belt scales, and sortation machinery.
