T12

STAINLESS STEEL SINGLE POINT LOAD

CELL FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENTS
capacities 15kg - 400kg

The T12 double bending beam, stainless steel single point load cell is ideal for high accuracy weight
measurement with off-centre loads in harsh industrial environments. Its hermetically sealed and fully welded
construction, with protection class IP68 and IP69K, is essential for use in applications involving regular wash-
down at high temperatures and pressures, such as the food and pharmaceutical industries. It is approved to
3000 divisions OIML R60 Class C. The screened polyurethane cable with 6-wires (including sense wires)
ensures that this load cell design is particularly insensitive to electrical noise.

Typical applications include weighing platforms with dimensions up to 800mm x 800mm; bagging, filling and
dosing machines; medical scales; checkweighers; small bucket and hopper systems.

The T12 is available with optional ATEX certification for all Gas and Dust zones. The ATEX certification for dust
zones 20, 21 and 22 does not require safety barriers, which saves substantial cost.

For applications in aggressive environments where stress corrosion or acid attack is a potential problem, a
special Parylene coating can be specified as an option.
