Force Measurement in all its variety
Single point load cells have a very special geometry. This allows platform scales to be constructed with only one load cell arranged centrally under the platform. Hence the name “single point load cell”. They are constructed in the manner of a parallel link, which enables them to absorb bending and torques caused by the eccentric application of force without
having an unfavourable effect on the measurement result. Single point load cells are characterised by high accuracy and are available with nominal loads from 150 g to 2000 kg. They are usually made of aluminium, but can also be supplied in stainless steel with a high degree of protection. The recommended maximum possible platform size for the various versions is given in the corresponding data sheets.
The PZ1 load cell is a high-precision single point load cell and was specially developed for use in small platform scales with correspondingly small loads. It is available with nominal loads from 300 g to 3000 g.
The PZ2 single point load cell has been specially developed for use in small to medium platform scales with correspondingly small and medium loads and offers high accuracy. The PZ2 load cell is available with nominal loads from 2.5 kg to 200 kg.
The PZ3 single point load cell has been specially developed for use in medium-sized platform scales with corresponding loads and offers high measuring accuracy. The load cell is available with nominal loads from 30 kg to 500 kg.
The PZ4 single point load cell has been specially developed for use in medium to large platform scales with corresponding loads and offers high measuring accuracy. The load cell is available with nominal loads from 50 kg to 635 kg.
The PZ5 single point load cell was specially developed for use in small platform scales with correspondingly small loads and offers high measuring accuracy. It is available with nominal loads from 300 g to 3000 g.
The PZ6 load cell is the largest single point load cell available and has been specially developed for use in large platform scales with correspondingly high loads and offers high measuring accuracy. It is available with nominal loads from 750 kg to 2000 kg.
This platform force transducer with integrated amplifier electronics was specially developed for applications with eccentric force application or in small platform scales.
The special geometry allows only one force transducer to be used under a platform. The sensor is mounted as centrically as possible.
Geometric centre of the platform = geometric centre of the load cell.
