Platform Load Cell

The  load cell 1015 is one of the original milestones of weighing technology being the first mass produced platform load cell. It is estimated that there are more than 10-million units in operation in both industrial scales as well as in filling, dosing and packaging machines.
It has a very unusual design (triple beam) which gives it a high natural frequency and hence a fast response in dynamic applications.  The 1015 has an integrated overload screw, which reliably protects the load cell against damage if excessive load is applied.

The Model 1015 is manufactured using an optimised complex machining process. This ensures that there will be no measurement error when the load is placed off centre, eg in a corner of a platform.
A platform scale can easily be constructed using this load cell. You simply have to mount the load cell between two steel or aluminum plates up to 350 mm square, securing the bottom plate to the threaded holes in the underside of the load cell (cable entry end) and the top plate to the threaded holes on the upper face (opposite cable entry end). The load cell then has to connected to a suitable display or readout. The 1015 platform load cell can be supplied with an optional  ATEX II 2G EEx ia IIC T4 certificate for use in hazardous gas areas - Zone 1 & 2.

The 1015 load cell is fitted with a 6 core shielded cable as standard. Special cables and lengths are available on request.
For additional sealing, the model 1015 can be provided with optional Sylgard protection
