Model PFK988-ES1500 Compression Load Cell For Industrial Weighing Sensor

1. Product Overview
The PFK988-ES1500 is a high-capacity, low-profile (pancake-style) compression load cell designed for heavy-duty industrial weighing and force

measurement applications. Constructed from high-strength stainless steel with a hermetic seal, it is built to deliver exceptional accuracy and

long-term reliability in the most demanding environments, including those with exposure to moisture, dust, chemicals, and wide temperature variations.

2. Key Features & Benefits

• All-Stainless Steel Construction: The housing, diaphragm, and internal components are made from martensitic or precipitation-hardening stainless steel,

• offering superior corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and durability.

• Hermetically Sealed: Provides an extremely high level of ingress protection, typically rated at IP68/IP69K, making it ideal for harsh applications requiring

• frequent high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns (e.g., food & beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical industries).

• Rugged & Robust Design: Engineered to withstand high overloads and shock loads, ensuring minimal downtime and maintenance in tough industrial settings.

• High Accuracy Class: Complies with international standards OIML R60 C3 and C6, ensuring precise and reliable measurements for trade-approved and critical

• industrial applications.

• Low-Profile Form Factor: Its compact height allows for easy integration into space-limited systems such as platform scales, silo supports, and weighing modules.

• Compression-Only Loading: Optimized for pure axial compressive forces, delivered through its centrally threaded holes for precise load introduction.

3. Typical Applications
This load cell is the cornerstone of many industrial weighing systems:

• Heavy-Capacity Platform Scales: Truck scales, axle weighers, pallet scales, and floor scales.

• Tank, Reactor, and Silo Weighing: For inventory control of liquids, powders, and bulk solids in process industries.

• Hopper and Batch Weighing Systems: Precise batching of ingredients in mixing and blending processes.

• Vehicle On-Board Weighing (OBW): Monitoring load in dump trucks, refuse vehicles, and other heavy machinery.

• Industrial Process Control & Force Monitoring: Used in rolling mills, balers, and structural test stands.
