HBM Dynamic Weighing Technology Seminar
HBM are pleased to announce the forthcoming Dynamic Weighing Seminar, designed to give participants a good grounding in dynamic weighing principles and applications
The PW15AH load cells are available for measuring ranges from 0-10kg to 0-100kg.
The standard version features extremely high accuracy and temperature insensitivity allowing the load cells to be used in legal-for-trade scales, for example, in multi-range applications.
Designed with a flat profile, the PW15AH conforms to industrial standards for low-profile weighing systems.
The load cell provides a ready replacement for the less rugged models already available on the market because of its compatible dimensions.
The high tolerance to wet conditions and extreme cleaning, even pressurised steam cleaning, makes the PW15AH suitable for all typical food areas and applications subject to wash-down conditions.
The load cells are off-centre load compensated and are normally connected in 6-wire configurations using different cable lengths.
An explosion-proof version of the PW15AH will be launched in the near future. Request a free brochure from HBM UK ...
