The KMC180 force transducers are designed with a large contact area for better force distribution. The load cells (called pancakes or compression discs) are IP66 and for forces up to 300 kN. The force is applied via the Ø30 mm through hole. The measuring body is made of steel and protected against corrosion (nickel plated). Despite the high forces, the load cell has a low overall height. The load cell is supplied calibrated with a test report and has a 3-metre connection cable. The sensor is commonly used in presses, testing machines, truck scales and large container and hopper scales.
