Product information "Rectangular load cell K90S"

K90S Shear Beam Load Cell for Mobile Vehicle Scales with Eccentric Load

The K90S is a robust shear beam load cell made of alloy steel or stainless steel for mobile scales and vehicle weighing systems with eccentric loading. It has been specifically developed for applications where off-center loads must be measured reliably and precisely – for example in refuse collection vehicles or container scales. This load cell is also suitable for weighing wall-mounted containers. Thanks to its special design, it is ideally suited for use under demanding and dynamic operating conditions.

The mechanical double-link system design (parallelogram) compensates torsional forces under one-sided loading. This effectively minimizes measurement errors caused by eccentric loads – for example when weight is applied to one corner of a platform. Even during long-term operation, the K90S load cell delivers precise and reproducible measurement results. The laser-welded measuring element complies with protection class IP65.

Applications

The K90S shear beam load cell is used in weighing systems for waste containers, rear-loading refuse collection vehicles, and on-board vehicle weighing systems. Further typical applications include container scales, mobile weighing systems for front loader vehicles, as well as overload protection systems for lifting platforms and goods lifts.
