Flat Tension Link Load Cell

The 20410Flat Link Load Cell is an ultra-precision strain gauge-based tension load cell designed for crane weighing and industrial tension measurement applications. It is CE certified, compact, rugged, and manufactured from high alloy tool steel with electroless nickel plating for superior resistance against shock, overload, and harsh environments.

This load cell is used in tension mode only and is installed using Dee/Bow shackles. It is suitable for rope tension monitoring, towing force measurement, crane scales, and cargo handling operations.

Available capacities range from 1 TF to 400 TF, with higher capacities and customized versions available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1 What is the working principle of the 20410 Flat Link Load Cell?

It operates on the electrical resistance strain gauge principle. When tension is applied, strain gauges detect deformation and generate a proportional electrical output signal (mV/V).

2 What type of load can it measure?

It measures tension force only.

3 What is the output signal?

• Nominal Output: 1.0 mV/V

• Compatible with:

• 420 mA output instruments

• 02 Volt output

• RS-485 interface

• Bluetooth / Wireless Telemetry

4 What is the operating voltage?

• Recommended: 10 VDC

• Maximum: 15 VDC

5 What is the accuracy level?

• Non-linearity: 0.15% FSO

• Hysteresis: 0.3% FSO

• Non-repeatability: 0.1% FSO

6 What is the overload capacity?

• Safe Overload: 150% of rated capacity

• Ultimate Overload: 200% of rated capacity

7 What is the temperature range?

• Compensated Temperature Range: 10C to 50C

• Designed to meet IP65 environmental protection standards.

8 What industries commonly use this load cell?

• Crane systems
