The entire range of digital load cells are now ATEX certified for use in both hazardous gas and dust zones 1, 2, 21 and 22. The load cells tolerate shocks, torsion and very high overloads and sideloads (up to 10 times the range). The load cells are hermetically sealed to IP68 or better with laser welding and are available in capacities ranging up to 500 metric tons. The modular electronics feature integrated diagnostics, configurable digital filters plus RS485, Profibus DP, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, 4-20 mA and 0-10 Vdc outputs.
