MV-LC0164 Column Compression Load Cell, 2-300 t

METRAVON MV-LC0164 is a column compression load cell for hopper, silo, press and weighing-module supports. The capacity list runs from 2 to 300 t, while the published dimensional rows cover 2-5 t and 10-50 t. Select the exact rating first, then obtain its contact geometry and cable configuration before approving the support assembly.

Allow for the 1 mV/V signal when retaining a reader

Rated output is 1.0 +/-0.002 mV/V. At 10 V excitation the nominal rated signal is 10 mV, half the signal of a nominal 2 mV/V bridge at the same excitation. Check the reader input range, gain and usable resolution before copying an existing setup. Input resistance is 650 +/-10 ohms and output resistance 610 +/-2 ohms; the final span must be established using this sensor and the installed load contacts.

The column compression load cell contact changes despite equal height

Both published dimensional groups give overall height H = 138.5 mm and body diameter D1 = 89 mm. However, upper contact diameter D3 changes from 24 mm at 2-5 t to 54 mm at 10-50 t, and contact radius R changes from 15 to 35 mm. A shared outer height is therefore insufficient for a replacement decision. Match the upper loading piece and lower support to the selected drawing, with clearance for the side cable housing.

Resolve the higher-capacity installation before reserving space

The list includes 75, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 t, but these ratings are not assigned dimensions in the two published rows. Do not extend the 89 mm body or 138.5 mm height to those versions. Standard cable notes give 8 m for 2-5 t, 14 m for 10-50 t and 18 m for 200-300 t. The 75-150 t cable arrangement needs confirmation along with the matching installation drawing.

Check changing process forces at the support, not just static weight

For a vessel, assess the highest support reaction as contents, connected piping and restraints change state. For press duty, provide the force cycle and contact arrangement rather than relying on the vessel application alone. Published total error and 30-minute creep are each +/-0.03% FS. Verify reference loading, return and any required hold condition through the assembled support; the figures do not define the accuracy of the whole machine or an unrestricted impact duty.

For a compact 0.5-5 t support, compare MV-LC0165 separately: its contact stack and nominal 2 mV/V signal are different.

Request MV-LC0164 with the exact tonne rating, upper and lower contact drawings, required cable route and reader model.
