Model PFK988-E1500 Compression Load Cell For Industrial Weighing Sensor

1. Product Overview
The PFK988-E1500 is a high-performance, low-profile (pancake-style) compression load cell engineered for

robust industrial weighing applications. Designed with a hermetically sealed stainless steel construction, it

excels in harsh environments where moisture, dust, and corrosive elements are present. Its primary function

is to accurately convert a force (in this case, a compressive force) into a precise, measurable electrical signal.

2. Key Features & Benefits

• Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, offering exceptional resistance to corrosion, impact, and overload.

• Hermetic Seal: Provides an IP68 (or equivalent) high ingress protection rating, making it suitable for washdown environments, food processing,

• chemical plants, and outdoor applications.

• Low-Profile Design: Its compact and flat form factor allows for easy integration into space-constrained systems like platform scales, tank and

• silo weighing, hopper scales, and process control systems.

• Compression-Only Loading: Optimized to measure forces applied along its central axis, ensuring accuracy and longevity when used correctly.

• High Accuracy & Reliability: Utilizes precision strain gauge technology to deliver consistent, repeatable measurements compliant with OIML R60

• C3 and C6 accuracy classes (or similar international standards).

• Threaded Loading Holes: Features top and bottom threaded holes for simple and secure installation, ensuring force is applied correctly.

3. Installation Considerations

• Mounting Hardware: Use high-quality, load-rated mounting hardware (load buttons, base plates) to ensure force is applied evenly and axially.

• Alignment: Proper alignment is critical. Misalignment can cause side loads and binding, leading to measurement errors and reduced lifespan.

• Junction Box: Multiple load cells used in a scale (e.g., 4-cell platform) must be connected to a junction box for summing and trimming.

• Indicator/Controller: Must be a compatible millivolt-per-volt (mV/V) signal amplifier or weight indicator.
