The load cells in the PFTL 101 family are available in six different measuring ranges from 0.5 to 20
kN and two different sizes (see
temperature compensated.
The load cells are usually mounted and fixed to a base and a bearing housing with six screws, four
on one side of the load cells and two on the opposite side.
For all load cells of type PFTL 101 the load cell house is machined from a single block of steel.
A sensor is then welded into the load cell house and oriented so that it is sensitive to force in the
direction of measurement and insensitive in other directions.
The load cell types PFTL 101A, PFTL 101AE, PFTL 101B and PFTL 101BE are made of stainless
steel.
PFTL 101A and PFTL 101B are equipped with a connector for the pluggable connection cable.
PFTL 101AE and PFTL 101BE are equipped with a fixed connection cable.
Load cell types PFTL 101AER and PFTL 101BER are specially designed for installation in corrosive
environment. They are made of acid resistant stainless steel and they also have a fixed connection
cable.
Dimensions for all load cell types are given in
