Standard loadcells are specified by a 10 digit ordering code plus the full load range. The codes for the most often used types are listed on each loadcell data-sheet.

F200 C Compression flat base F Flying lead 0 Unsealed 0 No option 0 Multiple

  L Compression loadfoot P Fixed plug R IP65 sealed V Voltage sensing A 2500R N Rationalised
  D Compression thread fitting B Non-standard

350R bridge resistance
Unrationalised

Notes

  1. Not all options are available on all loadcells.
  2. Loadcells will be calibrated in the units specified in the description.
  3. U options are calibrated in both tension and compression.
  4. If a flying lead length other than 2 metres is required digit 6 should be changed to B and the length specified after the main description e.g. F256TBR0KN 500kg loadcell with 5 metre flying lead.
  5. If a connector is required on the flying lead digit 6 should be changed to B and the connector type specified after the flying lead description e.g. F256TBR0KN 500kg loadcell with 2 metre flying lead fitted with a 5 pin TR200 connector.
  6. If an F218 requires the bottom cable entry digit 6 should be changed to B and the cable entry added to the description e.g. F218CBR0KN 10tonne loadcell with 2 metre flying lead, bottom cable entry. If digit 6 is F radial cable entry will be supplied.
  7. The 0 code in digit 9 applies to tri-axial loadcells which have a different bridge resistance for the Z axis relative to the X and Y.

Bespoke And High Temperature Loadcell Designs

Where loadcells are manufactured to meet special requirements digits 5 to 10 in the loadcell code are replaced with -Z followed by a four digit number that is a unique reference to the special design.
