HM14C Column Load Cell

Hermetically welded alloy steel column cell, 10 t to 50 t, with anti reversal self aligning design.

Product Overview

The HM14C is the alloy steel column cell for heavy platform scales, vehicle testing facilities and hopper scales. Its column structure with anti reversal design and good self aligning ability is what keeps a heavy deck stable as load moves across it, and the hermetically welded body handles oil, water and corrosive media.

  • Hermetically welded sealing

Customisation Options

  • Accuracy class selected at order
  • Capacity per leg load calculation
  • Cable length on request

Use Guide

  • Calculate leg load including deck dead weight before selecting capacity
  • Use the self aligning mounting hardware rather than bolting the cell rigidly
  • Keep all cells in one installation on the same accuracy class and sensitivity

Certification

  • Accuracy classes C2 to A5M
Comparison

How It Compares

Compared with alternatives in this catalogue
BM14C stainless column cellSame column structure and capacity concept, but the BM14C is stainless steel with OIML R60 C3 and C4 approval and starts at 0.5 t.
ZSF column cellThe ZSF family is IP68 rated with two bridge resistance options; the HM14C publishes a wider accuracy class table and uses 1.5 mV/V output.

Questions Buyers Ask

HM14C Column Load Cell Questions

What output sensitivity does the HM14C use?

1.5 ±0.004 mV/V, which is lower than the 2 mV/V and 3 mV/V families. Confirm your indicator can resolve it at the capacity you are using.

Is it approved for trade use?

The published table lists accuracy classes C2, C3, A5S and A5M. For an installation that must be verified, tell us the market and division count and we will confirm which class and documentation apply.

Can it be used outdoors?

It is hermetically welded and resistant to water, oil and corrosive media, which suits outdoor and pit installations.
