The Model LPX is a low-profile miniature disk load cell manufactured in New Zealand by PT Limited. Available with capacities from 25kg to 50 tonnes, the LPX is a rugged device that is suitable for all types of weighing applications, from hoppers and tanks to general-purpose process and industrial tasks, particularly where space is at a premium.
This compression type load cell is constructed from rugged tool-grade steel (except for the smallest 25 and 50kg versions which are made from aluminium). All devices up to 1000kg capacity share a compact 52mm diameter outline with a low profile of just 22mm. Even the largest 50-tonne-capacity devices measure just 155mm diameter by 55mm high.
Enhancing the ability of these devices to operate in hostile environments, all housings have a corrosion-resistant electroless nickel plate finish and are sealed to IP67. All load cells in the LPX series are safe to load with 150% of rated capacity, and will tolerate more than three-times rated load before mechanical failure. Operating temperature range is -10 to +50C.
A full range of accessories is available for the Model LPX load cell, including a range of standard compression mounts. These mounts simplify load cell installation with conveniently located bolt holes on both the top and bottom plates, and feature a special restraining socket to negate the effects of side loads.
Model LPX load cells are available from Sensor-Technik UK with a full 3 year warranty.
