LOAD CELLS

SCA Series
Compression Weighing Load Cells

Capacities: 50,000 lb/22,680 kg,

100,000 lb/45,360 kg,
120,000 lb/54,430 kg
• Environmentally-sealed (IP68)
• Stainless steel construction
• 35'/10m integral shielded cable

These heavy-capacity compression load cells

are ideal for multi-cell applications including
truck scales, railroad track scales, and heavy-duty
tank/hopper weighing systems.
The SCA load cells are fabricated from stainless steel
to provide the ultimate in protection when caustic,
corrosive or wet environments are encountered.
Load cells are environmentally-sealed
for absolute water protection. Each load cell is fur-
nished with stainless steel load buttons on
each end, and an integral multi-conductor
MECHANICAL DATA cable secured by a strain relief seal.
