Description
MC12 Large Rugged Platform Transducer with Mounting Inserts
The MC12 is available in 3 vertical capacities, ranging from 1000 lb to 4000 lb (see Specifications Tables). The four sensing elements inside the transducer are bolted to the top and bottom plates that comprise the body. Viton seals are also used throughout the body of the sensor. Elastomeric O-ring seals protect the strain gages and wiring to maximize long term consistency and reliable performance.
