S Type Load Cell, Tension/Compression, 300kg/500kg/1 ton to 10 ton

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 S type load cell uses a 350Ω strain gauge configuration for dependable force detection in weighing and load monitoring equipment. It operates from −20°C to +80°C, withstands up to 150% F.S. safe overload, and maintains ≥5000 MΩ insulation resistance for stable operation in demanding measurement environments.

Specification

Feature

• Strain Gauge Measurement: High-precision strain gauge technology delivers 2.0 ± 0.05 mV/V sensitivity, ≤±0.05% F.S. nonlinearity, ≤±0.05% F.S. hysteresis, and ≤±0.03% F.S. repeatability for accurate and stable force and weight measurement.
• Tension and Compression Measurement: The S type load cell supports bidirectional measurement of both tension and compression forces, making it suitable for weighing systems, force monitoring, and industrial load measurement.
• Resistance to Off-Center Loading: The symmetrical S-type structure helps maintain balanced force transmission and provides good resistance to off-center or eccentric loads, supporting consistent measurement when the applied force is not perfectly centered.
• Durable Construction and Overload Protection: Built for demanding industrial use, the tension and compression load cell operates from −20°C to +80°C and withstands a safe overload of up to 150% F.S., supporting reliable performance under varying load conditions.
• Threaded Mounting for Easy Installation: The threaded mounting design simplifies installation and fixed-load applications. The load cell can be used with hooks, shackles, and rod-end bearings for different weighing and force measurement setups.
• Protected Cable Connection: A water-resistant connector with spring cushioning helps protect the cable connection from pulling and bending stress, reducing the risk of cable damage during installation and operation.

Detail

1. Smooth Rounded Edges: Rounded corners and chamfered threaded holes create a smooth, burr-free surface that is comfortable to handle and less prone to corrosion. The refined edge treatment also helps reduce the risk of cuts during installation and handling.
2. Standard Mounting Holes: Standard mounting holes support accurate tension and compression measurement with good structural symmetry. The S type load cell can be paired with various mounting accessories for flexible installation and force measurement setups.
3. Protective Dust Cover: A silicone-gel-filled sensing element and protective dust cover help shield the internal strain gauges from moisture, dust, and other contaminants. With IP67-rated protection, the S type load cell is suitable for demanding environments and supports reliable measurement over extended service life.

Tips: How Can I Maintain Stable Readings From an S Type Load Cell?

Keep the mechanical mounting secure and check the load connections periodically for looseness or abnormal movement. Protect the cable and connector from repeated pulling, bending, and impact, and avoid exposing the sensor to conditions beyond its specified operating range. Regular inspection of the complete weighing or force measurement system can help identify issues before they affect measurement stability.
