According to Eric James, Product Manager, Sensors for Hardy Process Solutions, “These load cells are the perfect combination of advanced features and economy for OEMs and systems integrators. Because they are an industry standard load cell form factor, they allow for easy upgrade of existing systems to utilize C2 electronic calibration. They are also Hardy’s lowest priced load cell offering with both C2 and Hermetic Sealing.”
Designed for any environment
There are three members of the new family:
- HI SBHC14: 500-5,000 lbs capacity with a threaded captive load pin design
- HI SBHF14: 500-5,000 lbs capacity with a blind hole, rocker pin design
- HI HBB01: 22-1,100 lbs capacity using a threaded captive load pin design
Hardy footed load cell supports are designed to prevent unwanted forces from affecting load cell performance. In addition, threaded designs eliminate the potential for lift-off from the foot. A height adjustable, self-aligning rubber foot makes it easy to level the load, whether it is a platform scale or a large tank.
Alternatively, a Rocker Pin design provides an addition degree of accuracy by accommodating off-center loading. The rocking action helps prevent unwanted mechanical binding or torsional forces from affecting load cell performance.
C2 electronic calibration & integrated technician
With a Hardy weight controller, C2 load sensors enable fast, accurate, electronic calibration without test weights at just a push of a button The easy-to-use C2 system reduces downtime for installation and repairs and eliminates test weight related safety risks.
Hermetically sealed load sensors
Hardy ADVANTAGE load cells are matched and calibrated for mV/V and mV/V/ohm. The load cells are rated to IP/68 (and IP/69K for the HI SBHF14 and the HI SBHC14) standards and feature stainless steel finishes, and are hermetically-sealed at both the gauging area and the cable entry for long life. Hardy ADVANTAGE sensors use a blind hole technique ensuring the load is applied at a precise location to provide accurate readings.
