Flat Type Tension Link

The 20410 Flat Link Load Cell is a high-precision, strain gauge-based tension load cell designed for accurate force and tension measurement in heavy-duty industrial applications. Manufactured from high alloy tool steel with electroless nickel plating, it offers excellent resistance to shock, overload, and harsh environmental conditions.

This load cell is compact, rugged, and easy to install inline using dee/bow shackles, making it ideal for applications such as crane weighing, rope tension monitoring, towing force measurement, and material handling systems. With a wide capacity range from 3 TF to 500 TF, it ensures reliable performance across diverse industries.

It features high accuracy (as per ISO 376 standards), IP65 protection, and optional enhancements like high-temperature versions and RF telemetry systems for wireless data transmission.

FAQs

1. What does the Flat Link Load Cell measure?

It measures tension force in ropes, cables, and lifting systems.

2. What is the working principle?

It works on the strain gauge principle, where applied force causes deformation that is converted into an electrical signal.

3. How is it installed?

It is installed inline as a link using dee or bow shackles, making it easy to integrate into existing systems.

4. What is the output signal?

The standard output is 1.0 mV/V, which is proportional to the applied load.

5. What is the operating voltage?

Recommended excitation voltage is 510 VDC (maximum 15 VDC).

6. What is the capacity range available?

It is available from 3 TF to 500 TF, with higher capacities available on request.

7. Is it suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?

Yes, it has IP65 protection and robust construction for industrial environments.

8. Can it be used in high-temperature conditions?

Yes, optional versions are available for up to 150C.

9. What are the common applications?

• Crane and hanging scale systems

• Rope tension measurement

• Towing force monitoring (vehicles/ships)

• Material handling equipment

• Shipyard cargo operations

10. Can it be customized?

Yes, custom capacities, dimensions, and special features can be provided as per requirements.
