The YP6 Series is a miniature moment compensated load cell constructed of transducer-quality aluminum alloy. The YP6 is designed to accurately measure tension and compression forces for applications ranging from 0-300 G to 0-5 KG. The YP6 Series features a field proven dual-guided cantilever beam design that readily tolerates moments induced by angular, eccentric, or off-center loading, with minimal sensitivity to these extraneous loads, producing excellent performance in a very small, compact package. The YP6 Seies is specifically designed to reject the undesireable measurement effects of off-center loading; a requirement for platform scale applications. The YP6 Series also offers integral over-load protection for both tension and compression modes, thus yielding much higher safe and ultimate overload capacity. The load cell is environmentally sealed to IP67 (limited immersion) by virtue of proprietary multi-redundant barriers uniquely integrated to protect all internal components. The integral premium instrumentation grade cable features a durable PVC jacket over a tinned-copper braided shield for superior mechanical protection and to minimize the unwanted electrical effects of RFI and EMI. The attributes of the YP6 Series make it convienent for weighing of small bins and hoppers. The YP6 Series is an ideal choice for ultra-low force measurements such as medical and life science applications where a versatile, high accuracy, moment compensated load cell solution is required.
