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
Comparison

How It Compares

Compared with alternatives in this catalogue
L6D single point cellThe 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 cellBoth 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.

Questions Buyers Ask

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.
