Planning

Danger to life from falling loads
Load cells are not machine components which have been constructed with the normal safety
factors. For this reason, appropriate protection against falling and catastrophes must be
implemented in accordance with the potential risks.
Version
SIWAREX load cells are usually manufactured from stainless steel and hermetically sealed. This
provides a high degree of corrosion resistance and a high degree of protection.
Most type series are approved for use in scales requiring official calibration of Class III to
DIN EN 45501 and comply with the accuracy class OIML R60 C3.
If necessary, load cells can be supplied with ATEX approval.
SIWAREX load cells are current-calibrated as standard. This means that, for example, when a
platform scale is commissioned, corner load adjustment is not necessary. A load cell can
therefore be replaced without recalibration of the scale.
This may not apply to load cells that are available outside the standardized delivery spectrum.
For these load cell types, the relevant technical specifications apply.
