Low profile load cell could prove useful
Flintec is introducing a low cost, low profile, stainless steel shear beam load cell which offers exciting design possibilities for a wide range of weighing applications
These versatile products, which are fully sealed to IP68, are particularly suited to harsh environments and can be used in a wide range of applications including hopper scales, over-head track scales, hybrid scales, belt scales, tensile testing machines, bag fillers and packaging equipment.
The UB family is available in both weights and measures approved (C3 3000 division) and non approved versions.
The UB6 is also available in a high precision, multi range approved version.
This allows the load cell to be used with a minimum approved scale interval of 1 part in 20000 of rated capacity.
For use in hazardous areas, the UB is approved to EEx ia IIC T6 and the high 1100 ohm bridge impedance gives added performance advantages for applications where safety barriers are used.
All UB models feature Flintec's mV/V/Ohm calibration which eliminates time consuming corner calibration in multiple load cell systems and facilitates load cell replacement.
The unique glass to metal cable entry design ensures optimum sealing and allows cables to be easily replaced should they become damaged or cut.
A full range of complementary mounting hardware completes the impressive array of features offered by the UB Series.
The UB is just part of Flintec's extensive range of load cells, OEM sensors, mounting accessories and instrumentation.
