Product Name Single-Point Load Cell for Small Platform Scales
Product Image single-point load cell for small platform scales
Product Overview This single-point load cell is intended for compact platform and bench-scale assemblies. One sensor supports the weighing platform and measures loads placed at different positions within its specified platform area. It can be integrated into livestock equipment for weighing feed ingredients, veterinary supplies, small containers and farm consumables. The load cell, platform, indicator and protective enclosure are selected together according to project requirements.
Key Features
  • Single-sensor layout simplifies compact scale construction and wiring.
  • Off-center load compensation supports practical use of the platform surface within the approved platform size.
  • Compact mounting arrangement suits bench scales and equipment-integrated weighing stations.
  • Material, sealing and cable protection can be selected for the intended cleaning routine and farm environment.
  • Capacity and mechanical interface can be matched to new scale designs or replacement projects.
Structural Components A typical assembly consists of a machined sensing body, bonded strain gauges, a protected gauge area, mounting holes and a shielded signal cable. The fixed end attaches to a rigid scale base; the loading end supports the platform through a suitable mounting plate. An indicator, overload stops and a platform guard may be specified as part of the complete scale.
Working Principle Applied weight produces a small, controlled deflection in the sensing body. Strain gauges convert that deflection into an electrical signal, which a compatible weighing indicator processes into a weight reading. The single-point geometry helps limit measurement differences caused by normal changes in load position across the specified platform area.
Technical Specifications
  • Sensor type: Single-point strain-gauge load cell.
  • Rated capacity: Customizable according to the maximum load and platform dead weight.
  • Platform dimensions: Confirmed against the selected sensor's approved platform size.
  • Body material and environmental protection: Available upon request.
  • Output, excitation and cable configuration: Confirmed with the selected indicator and project wiring plan.
  • Mounting dimensions and accuracy documentation: Available upon request for the quoted model.
Applications Suitable for small bench and platform scales in commercial pig farms, poultry houses, feed preparation rooms, veterinary work areas and agricultural supply facilities. Typical tasks include weighing feed additives, premixes, samples, packaged parts and small containers. It can also be incorporated into compact dosing or check-weighing equipment where the platform and load range are appropriate.
Customization Options Available options may include rated capacity, body material, sealing level, cable length, mounting interface, platform arrangement and indicator compatibility. For pig farm construction projects, the scale housing and support brackets can be designed around the available floor or workbench space, cleaning practices and local climate. Final configurations are confirmed by drawing and quotation.
Installation & Maintenance Mount the fixed end on a level, rigid base and attach the platform to the designated loading end using the approved fasteners and torque for the selected model. Keep the platform clear of adjacent frames, steel structure members and cable tension that could create a parallel load path. Provide mechanical overload protection where required. Route the signal cable away from power wiring, protect connectors from moisture and impact, and verify zero and calibration after installation or service.
Product FAQ

Can one load cell support the entire platform?
Yes, when the platform size, mounting arrangement and load range are within the selected sensor's specifications.

Can it be used in a washdown area?
Specify the cleaning method and exposure conditions so a suitable sealing level, enclosure and cable connection can be selected.

What information is needed for selection?
Provide maximum weighing load, platform dimensions and weight, required resolution, indicator model, mounting drawing and operating environment.
