FT1

Shear Beam Load Cell | Hermetically Sealed

CAPACITY
350KG-7500KG

NON-LINEARITY
±0.024% RO

RATING
IP68

The FT1 is a high accuracy, low-profile shear beam load cell that is laser welded and manufactured from stainless steel, making it suitable for static or dynamic applications in hostile environments.



As standard, the FT1’s output is mV/V, but it can be supplied with a 4-20mA built-in amplifier, if required.
