RTN

RTN ring torsion load cells are available for a wide range of maximum capacities (1 t—470 t). All versions are compact and, at the same time, extremely robust. These properties and their superior degree of protection (up to IP 68/IP 69K) make them ideal for a wide range of container weighing applications, use in large platform scales, and the construction of vehicle scales – even in unfavorable environmental conditions.

HBM’s RTN load cells are extremely precise and minimize the influence of lateral load application with their unique ring-shaped strain gauges. Their high input resistance and low power consumption enable the use of battery-powered evaluation units for taking measurements.

Numerous special versions such as IECEx-ATEX or temperature-resistant versions (up to 110 °C) are available, and different cable lengths and cable types can be configured. A new version with an M12 connector is also available as an option for variants with accuracy class 0.05.

• Maximum capacities: 0…1 t to 0…470 t
• HBM accuracy class: up to C3
• Degree of protection: IP 68 (optional: IP68/IP 69K)

High measurement accuracy

• High precision and high signal-to-noise ratio, due to the 2.85 mV/V output signal
• Excellent compensation of transverse loads,due to the special design and use of ring-shaped strain gauges
• High input resistance (> 4,350 ohms) ensures low current consumption
• Legal-for-trade weighing system of up to 3,000 d (OIML R60)

High precision – due to outstanding technical properties

High robustness

• Corrosion-resistant load cell made of stainless steel
• Resistant to chemicals and moisture
• Wide temperature range from -30 °C to +80 °C (optionally up to +110 °C)
• Explosion-proof versions available (e.g. IECEx-AI 1/21)
• Also available with braided cable

Ideal for harsh environments – due to stainless-steel design, high degree of protection, and explosion protection.

Easy integration
