The ZD3-C Series is a high performance S-Beam load cell constructed of heat treated stainless steel. The ZD3-C is designed to accurately measure tension and compression forces for applications ranging from 0-50 LB to 0-20,000 LB. The ZD3-C features a robust shear beam design (>500 LB) that readily tolerates moments induced by angular, eccentric, or off-center loading, with minimal sensitivity to these extraneous loads. The ZD3-C load cell is Harsh Environment Sealed (IP67-Limited Immersion) by virtue of proprietary multi-redundant barriers uniquely integrated to protect all internal components. The load cell output signals are calibrated to a close tolerance to facilitate multiple load cell summing applications. The integral premium instrumentation grade cable features a durable PVC jacket over a tinned-copper braided shield for superior mechanical protection and for minimizing the unwanted electrical effects of RFI and EMI. The versatile S-Beam configuration is convenient for many applications such as weighing tanks, bins, hoppers, conveyors, and similar applications. The attributes of the ZD3-C Series make it an ideal choice for industrial, reactor, mixer and blender weighing, material handling, and weighing situations where a precision high performance load cell solution is required.
