Rice Lake RL1600 Series - Stainless Steel - Manual (Page 3)

1. Introduction
The RL1600 Weigh Module Kit provides an extremely accurate method for
weighing medium and large capacity tanks, hoppers, bins, and reactors. The design
uses a double-ended shear beam load cell (700
Ω bridge) and transmits the load
through a clamping load plate to the center of the load cell. This design is very
effective in providing for thermal expansion/contraction with little friction.
In the majority of applications, the modules are
self-checking and held captive with no need for
check or stay rods, making this mount a good
choice for areas with frequent seismic activity.
The RL1600 is available in cast iron, mild steel, or
stainless steel in sizes from 1,000-75,000lb. The
module is compatible with RL75016, RL75016
Stainless Steel, RL75016HE, Sensortronics 65016
and Sensortronics 65016W Stainless Steel load
cells in capacities from 1,000 lb to 75,000 lb.
