PR 6201 (500 kg … 50 t) Precision Compression Load Cell Product Profile The PR 6201 range of load cells is specially designed for weighing silos, tanks and process vessels. The unique design principle, in combination with the FlexLock installation kits, makes it possible to blance out movements arising from mechanical or thermal ex pansion or contraction of the vessel or its supporting construction. A particular design characteristic is that the overall height and shape of the load cell remain unchanged, from 500 kg up to 50 t. Alongside this, the unit has an especially high overload capacity of up to 200 %. At the same time, this range distinguishes itself – in addition to its high measurement accuracy and repeatability - above all for its unmatched reliability, robustness and stability, which offer trouble-free operation without adjustment, year after year. The pendulum support principle, combined with patented measuring element geometry, ensures that force transmission into the sensor is always at the optimum level and, in this way, the effect on measurement accuracy is minimized. At the same time, the load cell offers a particularly high over- load range, high repeatability and perfect linearity. There is an especially wide working tempera- ture range attributable to sophisticated resistance strain gauge technology. The hermetically sealed enclosure and special TPE cable allow the unit to be used even under extreme operating conditions in harsh production environments.
The PR 6201 range of precision compression load cells is designed for weighing silos, tanks and process vessels. Its pendulum support principle and patented measuring element geometry provide high accuracy, repeatability and a very high overload capacity of up to 200 %. The load cells feature a full stainless‑steel housing, hermetically sealed construction and IP68/IP69K protection, allowing operation in harsh, wet or explosive‑proof environments.
A variety of FlexLock installation kits, cable junction boxes and mounting plates are offered to simplify installation and enable quick replacement without recalibration. Optional 4‑20 mA output (LA version) and an Ex‑rated version are available for intrinsically safe applications.
