The HSCo S-type load cell is a strain-gauge load cell for both tension and compression, made from high tool-steel alloy with electroless nickel plating that protects it from jerk loads and corrosion. It is hermetically sealed to IP67 and available from 20 kg to 30,000 kg, for converting mechanical scales to electronic, hopper and crane scales, testing machines and force measurement.
Why builders choose it
- Tension and compression in one cell.
- Wide range. 20 kg to 30,000 kg.
- Rugged. High tool-steel construction for shock loads; electroless nickel plated.
- Hermetically sealed to IP67.
- Accurate. Non-linearity and creep under ±0.025% of full scale.
