MV-LC0103 Torsion-Ring Compression Load Cell, 2.2-330 t

METRAVON MV-LC0103 is a torsion-ring compression load cell for industrial force and weighing supports. Torsion ring describes the measuring structure; the specified quantity is load, not torque in N m. The documented family extends from 2.2 to 330 t and uses a 2.85 mV/V nominal bridge. Review the exact support geometry and instrument headroom before retaining hardware or settings from another compression sensor.

Check the torsion-ring compression load cell height at the selected rating

The 2.2 t and 4.7 t rows both show a 60 mm base diameter and 43 mm height H, while the upper A diameter changes from 49 to 52 mm. The 47 t and 68 t versions both have 130 mm A and base diameters, but H changes from 75 to 85 mm. At 100 and 150 t the corresponding diameter remains 150 mm while H changes from 90 to 100 mm. A shared circular outline therefore does not establish an unchanged bearing stack.

Keep small-version fixings separate from the larger locating arrangement

The lower-capacity drawing shows a four-M5 fixing arrangement; the 10-330 t section introduces a different underside locating feature. Obtain the chosen rating drawing and resolve the lower bearing or location interface before making the base. Match the upper compression contact and the surrounding restraints as well. The ring form does not establish a central through-bolt interface, unrestricted lateral movement or an interchangeable mounting pattern with a spoke load cell.

Check reader range for 2.85 mV/V rather than copying a 2 mV/V setup

At 10 V excitation the nominal rated signal is 28.5 mV, calculated from 2.85 mV/V. Check the bridge input range and gain for the actual delivered output before applying full reference load. Listed resistances are 1450 +/-50 ohms input and 1400 +/-5 ohms output, with 5-12 V DC excitation. A matching cable connector alone does not establish that an old indicator accepts this signal or the selected full-scale load.

Reference the completed support at the useful process loads

Install the actual bearing parts, restraints and final 3 m cable of 5 mm diameter before setting zero and span. Compare appropriate loading and unloading references and inspect whether the contact shifts as the support settles. Nonlinearity is +/-0.05-0.1% FS, hysteresis +/-0.08% FS and repeatability +/-0.05% FS. Define the whole-system acceptance at the operating loads instead of substituting one of these sensor entries for an installed error budget. The listed 150% FS safe overload is not a normal operating extension.

For MV-LC0103, send the selected rating, bearing-stack and location drawings, height allowance, working compression interval and existing indicator input range.
