It is designed for easy installation, usually between two flat faces bearing on its loading rings, either unattached or with retaining spigots positioned in the center hole. Alternatively tensile load transfer can be achieved via a tie rod assembly through the center hole. In this way the loadcell can indirectly measure tensile loads in a \u201cfail-safe\u201d mode. A load button and base plate are available for the ALF202.<\/p>\n<p>We are happy to design variants of this loadcell to meet your specific requirements. Versions can be manufactured for fully compensated operation up to +250\u00b0C. Please consult our engineering department.<\/p>\n<p>Geometry: Axial strain cylinder in weather sealed case, with raised end load bearing faces and hole right through. For use in compression or in fail-safe tensile applications.<\/p>\n<p>All standard ranges are manufactured in stainless steel.<\/p>\n<p>Connections<br \/>\nThe loadcell is fitted with 2 metres of PVC insulated 4 core screened cable type 16-2-4C.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Excitation + = Red Signal + = Yellow Screen = Orange<\/li>\n<li>Excitation &#8211; = Blue Signal &#8211; = Green<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The screen is not connected to the loadcell body.<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"technical-specifications-title\">Technical Specifications<\/h6>\n<div class=\"rounded border border-gray-line\/20 overflow-hidden\">\n<table class=\"!my-0\">\n<thead class=\"sr-only\">\n<tr>\n<th>Specification<\/th>\n<th>Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Bridge resistance<\/th>\n<td>700 \u03a9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">\u00a0<\/th>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Creep &#8211; 20 minutes<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.05% AL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Excitation voltage &#8211; maximum<\/th>\n<td>20V<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Excitation voltage &#8211; recommended<\/th>\n<td>10V<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Hysteresis<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.1% RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Insulation resistance &#8211; minimum at 50vdc<\/th>\n<td>500 M\u03a9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Load direction<\/th>\n<td>Compression<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Measurement range<\/th>\n<td>10kN, 25kN, 50kN, 100kN, 200kN<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Non-linearity &#8211; terminal<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.1% RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Overload &#8211; safe<\/th>\n<td>50% RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Overload &#8211; ultimate<\/th>\n<td>400% RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Rated output &#8211; nominal<\/th>\n<td>1.2mV\/V<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Rated output &#8211; rationalised<\/th>\n<td>1.0mV\/V<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Rationalisation tolerance<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.5% RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Repeatability<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.02% RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Sealing<\/th>\n<td>IP65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Temperature effect on rated output per \u00b0c<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.005% AL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Temperature effect on zero load output per \u00b0c<\/th>\n<td>\u00b10.03% RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Temperature range &#8211; compensated<\/th>\n<td>-10 to +50\u00b0C<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Temperature range &#8211; safe<\/th>\n<td>-10 to +80\u00b0C<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Weight &#8211; nominal (excluding cable)<\/th>\n<td>1.6 to 1.8kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"align-top\">Zero load output<\/th>\n<td>\u00b14% RL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very high structural load limit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":288963,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[5487],"product_cat":[3372],"product_tag":[5023,5499,5500,5491],"class_list":{"0":"post-288969","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-althen-sensors","7":"product_cat-through-type-load-cell","8":"product_tag-force-sensor-en","9":"product_tag--en","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"taxable","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/casscale.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/288969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/casscale.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/casscale.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casscale.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=288969"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casscale.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/casscale.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casscale.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=288969"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casscale.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=288969"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casscale.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=288969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
