The simple mechanical construction reduces manufacturing costs significantly, so that this platform load cell can be used to produce one of the cheapest and most accurate scales in the weighing market. The 1042 has an OIML R60 approval to 6000D. With this certification, the 1042 can be used in multi-range and multi-interval applications.<\/p>\n<p>The Model 1042 like many platform load cell, has a dual beam mechanical design. Each load cell is manufactured using an optimised complex machining process. This ensures that there will be no measurement error when the load is placed off centre, eg in a corner of a platform.<br \/>\nA platform scale can easily be constructed using this load cell. You simply have to mount the load cell between two steel or aluminium plates up to 400 mm square, securing the bottom plate to the threaded holes in the underside of the load cell (cable entry end) and the top plate to the threaded holes on the upper face (opposite cable entry end). The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.loadcells.com\/product-cat\/load-cells\/\">load cell<\/a>\u00a0then has to connected to a suitable display or readout.<\/p>\n<p>The 1042 platform load cell can be supplied with an optional\u00a0 ATEX II 2G EEx ia IIC T4 certificate for use in hazardous gas areas \u2013 Zone 1 &amp; 2.<br \/>\nThe 1042 load cell is fitted with a 6 core shielded cable as standard. Special cables and lengths are available on request.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View other products sutable for Filling Systems\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loadcells.com\/product-uses\/filling-systems\/\"><img
