Double range load cells

The FN7110/FN7236 series double range load cells from FGP Sensors and Instrumentation feature high-accuracy measurement channels in two ranges in the same load cell. The standard ratio between ranges is 1 to 10, from as low as 0-10 and 0-100 N in the FN7110 to 0-2 and 0-20 kN in the FN7236. These load cells can measure tension and compression to within 0.1% of the full scale range, even in the first 10% of that range.

An over-range of 1.2 times the upper limit of the high load range exists, and mechanical stops protect against overloads in the lower range sensing element. Supply voltages of 10-30 VDC can be used, and a 2 mV/V full scale output is given.

The body of the double range load cell is made from either aluminium alloy (AU4G) or stainless steel, depending on the full scale range. A complete turnkey system is also available for the load cell, to amplify the electronic signal and display the data digitally. A turnkey measurement system arrives formatted, calibrated and ready for immediate use.
