MV-LC0188 Metric-Thread S-Type Load Cell, 25 kg to 10 t

METRAVON MV-LC0188 is a metric-thread S-type load cell for hanging scales and tensile-force measurement. It offers discrete kg and t ratings with either of two listed sensitivity specifications. Capacity, threaded connection and electrical version must be identified together: an unchanged body size does not always mean the old fittings or indicator settings can be reused.

Identify the 2 mV/V or 3 mV/V version on the quotation

The listed sensitivity entries are 2.0 +/-0.02 mV/V and 3.0 +/-0.003 mV/V. Keep those different tolerances with the corresponding version; do not copy a narrower tolerance from another product. At 10 V excitation, nominal rated-load outputs are about 20 mV and 30 mV respectively. Check the reader input range and obtain calibration information for the supplied sensor before transferring an old span setting.

Metric-thread S-type load cell dimensions change in seven groups

The 100-300 kg and 500-750 kg groups both list A/B/C = 50.8/76.2/19.1 mm, but their threads differ: M10 x 1.5 versus M12 x 1.75. The 1-1.5 t group retains M12 x 1.75 while thickness C increases to 25.4 mm. At 2-5 t the connection is M20 x 1.5; 7.5 t uses M24 x 2 and 10 t uses M30 x 2. Compare the complete selected drawing, including installed height and thread engagement, rather than checking nominal diameter only.

Settle cable reach and material before ordering

The four-core cable note assigns 3 m through 1 t, 5 m for 2-7.5 t and 8 m at 10 t. It leaves the listed 1.5 t version without an explicit standard length. Confirm that detail if 1.5 t is selected. Alloy steel and stainless steel are listed options, not a capacity-specific material assignment. Put the required material and termination location in the enquiry so the delivered configuration is clear.

Test the installed linkage for friction and zero return

Threaded attachments should transmit axial tension without contacting the slots or pulling sideways on the body. After assembly, compare known forces across the needed measuring interval, then unload and repeat. Investigate binding attachments or a restrained cable before changing electronic filtering. For held tension, include the relevant observation period; the published 30-minute creep entry is +/-0.02% FS. A sensor classification alone does not establish the completed scale performance.

If a four-rating alloy-steel S-type option is more relevant, check MV-LC0189 with its own dimensions, thread pitches and error specification.
