STRAIN GAGE LOAD CELLS IDEAL FOR TESTING, WEIGHING, AND BATCHING SCALES

April 25, 2008
RDP, a leading manufacturer of position sensors and transducer amplifiers, has announced a new range of affordably priced load cells.  Offering linearities of 0.03% with overall accuracies of 0.1%, the new load cells are designed to meet the demands of today's competitive marketplace.  RDP's new range includes the widely used "pancake" style cell for compression, tension and universal operation, in addition to models specifically designed for industrial and commercial weighing applications.  A large selection of standard models and ranges are available from stock and special requirements can usually be supplied within 6 to 8 weeks.The load cells offer either IP65 or IP67 sealing.  They have an operating temperature of -20 to +60ºC and compensated temperature of -10 to +40ºC.  RL Series load cells provide 2.0 mV/V  output and an overload capacity of 50%.  Compatible signal conditioners are available if needed• Excitation/supply (acceptable) - 0 to 15V • Temperature coefficient (zero) - ±0.002% F.S. /°F (typical) • Excitation/supply (calibrated) - 10V • Temperature coefficient (span) - ±0.002% F.S. /°F (typical) • Output 2mV/V ±10% • Operating temperature range - -4°F to 140°F • Zero balance - 2% F.S. • Compensated temperature range - 14°F to 104°F • Bridge resistance - 350 Ohms • Ingress protection (IP) - 67 • Linearity error ±0.03% F.S. • Over-range capacity 50% • Hysteresis ±0.03% F.S. • Major construction material Steel • Repeatability ±0.03% F.S. • Electrical termination 9.8ft (integral cable) • Resolution Infinite
