MV-LC0098 Compact S-Type Load Cell for Axial Force, 100-2000 kg

METRAVON MV-LC0098 is a compact S-type load cell for axial tension and compression measurement. Its S-type parallel-beam measuring structure is enclosed in a compact body with opposed threaded connections, rather than the exposed S-shaped outline of some other force sensors. The specified measuring range is 100-2000 kg. Select it with the required coupling details and the force directions used by the fixture.

Connect the compact S-type load cell from its selected drawing row

The dimensional reference separates 100-500 kg, 700 kg and a larger 1-5 t body group. For a project within the specified 100-2000 kg range, identify the actual rating before using those rows. The first two rows show an 88 mm overall A reference and 58 mm body-height H reference with an M16 x 1.5 end designation. The larger row changes A and H to 120 and 68 mm and gives an M22 designation without a stated pitch. Obtain the complete offered thread details; the larger dimensional rows do not automatically extend the specified measuring range.

Use the documented bridge supply rather than a generic excitation setting

This model lists 10-12 V DC, not a presumed 5-12 V operating range. Rated sensitivity is 2.0 +/-0.015 mV/V. Check the reader excitation and input range before retaining an old force indicator. The table and circuit sketch do not consistently identify the signal-pair polarity by colour, so obtain the delivered wiring identification and verify sign with a known force. Do not approve the connection from a colour convention borrowed from another model.

Make reversal part of the acceptance test

Define tensile and compressive operating points, preload and the movement at each coupling. Verify the required force signs and reference values in both directions, then compare return after release. A gain set with a tensile reference does not establish the compression result or remove bending introduced by the fixture. The listed 0.05% FS precision entry belongs to the documented sensor conditions; acceptance needs the final couplings, acquisition equipment and actual test sequence.

Keep the safe-load entry separate from the fixture rating

The sensor table lists a 200% FS safe load limit and an operating temperature of -40 to +85 deg C. Neither entry establishes fatigue performance, a lifting working-load limit or the ratings of the attached hardware. Review the expected peaks and environment with the complete force fixture. Confirm the alloy-steel or stainless-steel version and the termination protection required for its IP67 installation. Do not use a high sensor overload figure to justify an unreviewed coupling or routine above-capacity operation.
