Rectangular shearbeam load cells don’t get much better than the PT5000 Series from Precision Transducers. Ideal for all weighing equipment OEMs, these high-accuracy and robust devices come in industry-standard ratings and sizes that allow manufacturers to update their equipment designs with the very latest technology.
Both Imperial and metric models are available, with capacities from 500 to 10,000lb and 250kg to 5t, respectively, covering a wide range of applications from floor scales to hopper, silo and bin weighing.
All devices are constructed from top-quality alloy tool steel, with electroless nickel plating for long-life protection. And all devices are sealed to IP67 over an operating temperature range from -18 to +65C, guaranteeing performance in all types of adverse conditions. They are also insensitive to axial loads and protected against overloads up to 300% of rated capacity.
In all cases the accuracy is remarkable, with a combined error of less than 0.023% of full scale output. As a result, the PT5000 Series is approved for fiscal weighing applications by weights and measures authorities around the world. Matched 3mV/V outputs will appeal to OEMs looking for a load cell to suit high-accuracy weighing equipment.
Designing the PT5000 Series into new and existing applications is simplified by the availability of a full range of accessories, including load buttons, load sockets, rod ends and swivel feet. And electrical compatibility is assured, with a wide excitation voltage range from 5 to 15V DC and a generous 6m-long screened insulated cable as standard.
