After purchasing one ATO load cell, you can buy a special digital panel meter to obtain readings directly, or buy a transmitter to output standard signal to PLC, DCS and other systems. Customized output signal is 0-5V, 0-10V, or 4-20mA.
Note: The load cell cannot be connected to both the transmitter and the controller at the same time — only one can be selected.
The column type compression load cell is available in 7.5 ton, 15 ton, and 22.5 ton capacities, using a stainless steel elastic element and self-restoring structure for consistent compression force measurement. Continuous laser-welded sealing and a glass-sintered cable connection enhance durability in demanding industrial environments.

Feature
- Self-Restoring Design: The self-restoring column compression load cell returns to its original position after loading, helping maintain stable and repeatable weighing results.
- IP68/IP69K Welded Sealing: The stainless steel welded construction offers IP68/IP69K protection against water and corrosion, making the load cell suitable for frequent high-pressure washing.
- Stable Heavy-Load Performance: The compact column structure resists lateral forces and impact, while low creep helps maintain stable measurement output during long-term heavy-load weighing.
- Multiple Load Capacities: Available in 7.5 ton, 15 ton, and 22.5 ton capacities, the ATO-DYC611 supports different heavy-load compression weighing requirements.
- Versatile Industrial Applications: Suitable for tanks, silos, platform scales, filling systems, and process weighing, including food processing, pharmaceutical, and other demanding washdown environments.

Tips: How Can I Maintain Stable Readings From a Column Compression Load Cell?
Proper load alignment is essential for stable readings. Mount the column compression load cell on a rigid, level surface and keep the applied force centered along the sensing axis. Avoid excessive lateral forces, shock loads, and uneven contact between the load cell and mounting surfaces. For washdown applications, ensure that the mounting area and cable connection remain properly sealed to maintain the intended IP68/IP69K protection.
