Description
Truck scale load cell PR 6221, converter Connexx®, mounting kits and junction boxes PR 6021 Premium components for vehicle weighing
The load cell PR 6221 was designed specifically for use in truck scales. Its outstanding precision and long product lifetime cut service and calibration costs, and help to reduce downtimes to a minimum. In combination with the converter Connexx®, the PR 6221 becomes a digital solution.
Precise, fail-safe and extremely durable
- Both truck scale components are produced with great care in Germany. Their high quality guarantees accurate results, a long product lifetime and reduces costs in the medium term.
- Maximum lightning protection: with proper surge protection and potential equalisation, the PR 6221 can withstand voltages of up to at least 1,000 kV and currents of up to 100 kA without damage.
- The load cell guarantees accurate measurement results thanks to its special measuring element geometry.
- Developed for the harshest ambient conditions, the load cell can even withstand water immersion at a depth of 1.5 m for more than 10,000 hours.

When driving onto the truck scale, the forces applied result in a deflection of the load cell. The restoring force ensures that the load cell returns to its centred rest position as quickly as possible.
The truck scale load cells PR 6221 meet all requirements
- Lightning surge current (Imax = 100 kA) 10 µs/350 µs (lightning protection class III) as per DIN EN 62475
- Lightning surge voltage (Umax = 1,000 kV) 1.2 µs/50 µs as per DIN EN/IEC 60060-1
In the event of proper surge protection, potential equalisation, protection of the measuring cable and in con- junction with Minebea Intec junction boxes and indicators, the analogue load cells can withstand voltages of at least 1,000 kV and currents of up to 100 kA without damage.
The output impedance (Ro) and parameter (Cn) of the load cells are within a tight tolerance range (= matched output) both individually and together. This means that there may possibly be no need for electrical corner correction and only mechanical height adjustment will be required.
