MV-LC0097 S-Type Load Cell: Capacity and Mounting Verification

METRAVON MV-LC0097 is identified as an S-type tension and compression sensor, but its available technical entry and dimensional reference do not establish one consistent installation specification. The technical range is 500-3000 kg, while thickness annotations in the reference drawing refer to 15/20/30 t. Resolve that mismatch before ordering a replacement or machining its fixture. The information below is a verification checklist, not approval to combine those two sets of data.

Resolve the S-type load cell capacity before choosing fittings

Send the existing sensor label, required rated force, working interval and both end-connection details. Request an offered configuration whose capacity, dimensions and measuring directions appear on matching technical records. Do not infer that a body shown for a higher-tonnage group has the performance or rating of the 500-3000 kg entry. Likewise, the drawing annotations do not prove that a 15, 20 or 30 t version is available under this model reference.

Use the outline only to identify what still needs confirmation

The reference shows 203 mm and 124 mm front-view dimensions and a 37.8 mm end-feature diameter. They are identification clues, not a released machining basis for the listed capacity range. Obtain the full side section, end connection, locating faces and cable exit for the actual offered unit. A thread designation is not established by the circular end feature. Keep external fittings and frame fabrication on hold until the supplier confirms one complete, consistent assembly drawing.

Confirm the electrical specification for the same physical version

The technical panel lists 10-12 V DC excitation, 2.0 +/-0.015 mV/V bridge output, 380 +/-5 ohms input resistance and 350 +/-2 ohms output resistance. Check those values against the exact configuration on the offer rather than borrowing them for whichever outline happens to fit. A millivolt bridge still needs a suitable conditioner or force indicator. Ask for the delivered wiring identification and verify the indicated direction with a known reference; do not resolve conflicting colour conventions by guesswork.

Agree the release evidence and final acceptance together

Before approving the purchase, require the matched rated capacity, installation drawing, full connection details, electrical version and applicable environmental specification. The existing entries include IP67 and a 0.05% FS precision figure, but these are not a substitute for matching the physical product to its records. After that configuration is confirmed, define the tensile and compressive reference points needed by the fixture and verify sign, repeatability and return after release. A plausible unloaded zero cannot resolve a mechanical-capacity documentation conflict.

Send the existing MV-LC0097 label, required capacity, both attachment views and reader specification so the matching configuration can be confirmed before quotation approval.
