This load cell with digital indicator is a full weighing system. It measures force or weight. The load cell changes pressure into an electrical signal you can measure. The included digital 5-digit indicator shows the reading clearly. This creates a complete digital force gauge. Features and Benefits
- Capacity range from 50kg to 5 tonnes - You can pick the right industrial load cell for your need. This goes from small force tests to heavy weighing.
- Digital 5-digit indicator included - This load cell kit comes with a display. It powers the sensor and shows results. You don't need another instrument.
- Flexible AC/DC power input - The indicator works with both 8-28V DC and 80-265V AC power. This makes it adaptable for field or workshop use.
- IP66-rated alloy steel load cell - The sensor is made of strong alloy steel. It's sealed against dust and water. This helps stop wrong readings in tough conditions. Applications
- Build a custom industrial scale for weighing pallets, hoppers, or tanks.
- Create a test bench for measuring compressive force in material testing or for quality control.
- Put it into an automated process for batch weighing or overload detection.
What It Is
This Cell Weighing System Kit is a complete solution for precise weight measurement, featuring a robust load cell and a digital indicator. The load cell, a resistance sensor, acts as a transducer, converting force into an electrical signal. This signal is then processed by the digital 5-digit indicator, providing a clear and accurate weight reading. Its IP66 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets, making it suitable for demanding environments. The system operates across a broad voltage range, offering flexibility for various power sources.
Key Uses & Applications
This weighing system is ideal for a range of industrial and commercial applications requiring accurate weight measurement from 50kg up to 5 tonnes. Common uses include creating custom weighing platforms, upgrading existing scales, or integrating into process control systems. The IP66 water resistance makes it suitable for use in environments where dust and water are present, such as agricultural settings, manufacturing plants, or waste management facilities. Its robust alloy steel construction ensures durability and reliable performance in demanding conditions.
How to Choose
When selecting a cell weighing system, consider the required capacity range; this kit offers 50kg to 5t. Evaluate the operating environment for the necessary ingress protection; this product is IP66 rated. Understand that a load cell works by using strain gauges to detect deformation under load, which is then converted into an electrical signal. The output sensitivity of 1.0-2.0mV/V is a key specification for system integration. Ensure the operating voltage range, DC 8-28V or AC 80-265V, matches your power supply.
Grit / Spec Guide
The Cell Weighing System Kit features an alloy steel load cell, offering a capacity range from 50kg to 5 tonnes. Its IP66 rating signifies comprehensive protection against dust and powerful water jets. The digital 5-digit indicator provides clear weight readouts. The system's output sensitivity is 1.0-2.0mV/V, a critical specification for calibration and integration. It operates on a versatile power supply of DC 8-28V or AC 80-265V. The resistance sensor theory underpins how the load cell works, utilising strain gauge technology for accurate measurement.
Care & Safety
Ensure correct installation of the load cell to prevent damage and ensure accurate readings. Overloading beyond the specified 5t capacity can permanently damage the strain gauge. When connecting the cable, ensure proper wiring to the digital indicator to avoid electrical faults. The IP66 rating protects against water and dust but avoid submerging the unit. Regularly check the cable for signs of wear or damage. Always disconnect power before attempting any maintenance or adjustments to the system.

A: The kit contains one alloy steel load cell and the matching digital indicator unit. It's a complete package for adding a weighing function to your equipment; you just need to provide power and a mounting structure.. Q: How well does the load cell hold up against water and dust? A: The load cell itself is rated at IP66. This means it's fully sealed against dust and can handle high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for industrial areas that require frequent cleaning or washdowns.. Q: What kind of power supply does the digital indicator need? A: The indicator is very flexible when it comes to power. You can connect it to either an AC source from 80 to 265 volts or a DC source from 8 to 28 volts, so it integrates easily into most systems.. Q: Your description lists a wide weight range. How do I choose the right load cell capacity? A: You select the capacity you need when you purchase the kit. We offer options ranging from 50kg up to 5 tonnes. A good rule of thumb is to choose a capacity that is about 25-50% higher than the heaviest load you plan to measure.. Q: Can the display be calibrated to the specific load cell for accuracy? A: Yes, the digital indicator is designed to be calibrated in the field. The included manual walks you through the process of using known weights to match the indicator to the load cell's output, which ensures you get precise measurements..
