L6N Single Point Load Cell
Single point cell aimed at electronic balances, 3 kg to 100 kg on a 400 x 400 mm platform.

Product Overview
The L6N is the balance oriented member of the single point family. It covers 3 kg to 100 kg on platforms up to 400 x 400 mm and is offered in a single accuracy class, C3, with n max 3000 and v min Emax divided by 7000, which keeps specification simple for an instrument build.

Materials And Construction
- Anodised aluminium body
Customisation Options
- Capacity selected from the published range
- Cable length on request
Use Guide
- Check v min of Emax divided by 7000 against your intended division before finalising the display resolution
- Keep the deck inside 400 x 400 mm and rigid enough not to flex
- Allow the assembly to reach room temperature before final calibration
Certification
- OIML R60 C3
How It Compares
| L6D single point cell | The L6D goes down to 2.5 kg but is limited to a 250 x 350 mm deck. The L6N allows a 400 x 400 mm deck across 3 kg to 100 kg. |
|---|---|
| L6E single point cell | Both allow 400 x 400 mm. The L6E starts at 50 kg and runs to 300 kg, so it takes over where the L6N range ends. |

L6N Single Point Load Cell Questions
Why is only one accuracy class offered?
The family is specified as C3 with n max 3000 and v min Emax divided by 7000, which covers the balance and counting applications it was designed for.
Can I build a 500 x 500 mm balance deck on it?
No. Stay within 400 x 400 mm or move to the L6T or L6G, which allow 600 x 600 mm.
What division can a 30 kg cell support?
v min is 30 divided by 7000, about 4.3 g, so a 5 g division is within the cell specification and a 2 g division is not.
