The 1242 is also used in industrial applications, such as rail scales and tension measurements as well as measuring cutting and grinding forces.<br \/>\nThe Model 1242 like many platform load cell, has a dual beam mechanical design. Each\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.loadcells.com\/product-cat\/load-cells\/\">load cell<\/a>\u00a0is 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.<\/p>\n<p>A 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 load cell then has to connected to a suitable display or readout.<br \/>\nThe 1242 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 1242 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 Dosing by Weight\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loadcells.com\/product-uses\/dosing-by-weight\/\"><img
