APPLICATIONS
MECHANICAL DIMENSIONS
Main features
• Range of measurement: from100 to 20.000 Kg
• Accuracy class: 0,2%
• All stainless steel construction
• Corrosion resistant
• Internally generated calibration signal
• Grade of protection: IP67 (DIN 40050)
TC series load cells are strain gauge transducers used to
measure loads in static and dynamic applications, in tension
(positive signal of output) and compression (negaitive signal
of output), with high accuracy (industrial weighing, laboratory
testing, automation, etc).
The TC series is machined from a single block of metal, so
the primary sensing element, the mountings and the case
contain no welds allowing smaller dimensions and an enhanced grade of protection.
The configuration of the point of measurement, with 8 strain
gauges, reduces errors caused by imperfect application of the
load.Typical applications of load cells connected in parallel
are: silos, hoppers, large weighing platforms, and with suitable accessories, suspended loads. The stainless steel construction is suitable for use in aggressive environments in the
chemical and petrochemical industries.

If the transducer is supplied complete with
prewired connection cable, the colour code is that
indicated in the table.
Cells connected in parallel
In systems that use several cells, the parallel connection automatically sums the loads on each individual cell.
Using this method of measurement, the maximum load will be the sum of the loads on the individual cells and the
sensitivity will be the average value of these cells.
It is important that the user ensures that no cell is stessed beyond its maximum rating under any load condition.
