Pancake Load Cell

The PNC700 general purpose, high accuracy pancake load cell from Stellar Technology, offers maximum load ranges from 100lbs to 100k lbs with an accuracy of ±0.05% FSO BFSL. These force sensors incorporate a threaded-through centre hole with dual diaphragms and uniquely configured mounting holes, these design features result in improved accuracy and increased rigidity thus reducing both the effects if off-centre loading and side loading. The PNC700 series from Stellar Technology are constructed of all welded stainless steel for very demanding application environments, with bolt-on or welded-on stainless steel electrical connectors.
