RICE LAKE WEIGHING SYSTEM BEAM LOAD CELL RL35082-N5-4K III 5 M
The Rice Lake Weighing Systems RL35082-N5-4K III is a premium, low-profile, double-ended shear beam load cell engineered for robust industrial weighing. Its hermetic seal and rugged nickel-plating make it the go-to choice for harsh environments, including washdown (food, chemical, pharmaceutical) and outdoor applications. This model is a core component for building accurate, reliable tank scales, platform scales, and process weighing systems.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Rugged & Hermetically Sealed: Features a true hermetic stainless steel weld seal protecting the internal strain gauge circuitry from moisture, dust, and corrosive agents. Rated IP67, IP68, and IP69K for ultimate protection against high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.
- Superior Construction: Made from nickel-plated alloy steel for excellent corrosion resistance. The polished stainless steel hardware resists rust.
- High Accuracy & Performance: Offers 0.02% rated output accuracy (C3 class equivalent). Excellent long-term stability and minimal corner error for consistent, reliable measurements.
- Easy Installation:Â The low-profile, double-ended shear beam design allows for simple installation in compression mode. It fits standard mounting hardware and requires minimal headroom.
- Integrated 5-Meter Cable:Â Comes with a 5-meter (approx. 16.4 ft) long, integral polyurethane-jacketed cable for direct connection to a weight indicator or junction box, saving installation time.
- Safety & Compliance: Certified to NTEP and OIML R60 standards for commercial trade applications, ensuring legal-for-trade accuracy where required. Also carries CE marking.
