Samsung SDS Transducer Techniques MLP-500 500 lb Load Cell

SKU CH-PYV7-N7EHS

Measures compression forces up to 500 lb with 2 mV/V output, 0.1 % nonlinearity, 0.05 % non-repeatability and 5200 Hz natural frequency

  • 500 lb compression capacity for heavy-duty weighing
  • 2 mV/V nominal output delivers clear signal strength
  • 1 % nonlinearity ensures consistent accuracy
  • 5200 Hz natural frequency supports dynamic measurements
  • 003 in deflection minimises structural deformation

500 lb compression load cell

The Transducer Techniques MLP-500 is a miniature low-profile load cell built for compression force measurement up to 500 lb. It delivers a nominal rated output of 2 mV/V with nonlinearity and hysteresis each at 0.1 % of rated output. Non-repeatability is 0.05 % and zero balance is 1.0 %. Calibration is included for compression mode.

Upgrading from lower-capacity sensors

This unit replaces smaller-capacity cells when test loads approach 500 lb and a compact footprint is required. The jump is justified when the application demands a safe overload of 150 % of rated output and a deflection as low as 0.003 in. It operates on 10 V DC excitation with a nominal terminal resistance of 350 O.

Suits precision force testing

Engineers running material tests, press monitoring or automated assembly checks will benefit from the 5200 Hz natural ringing frequency and tight temperature compensation from 60 to 160 ºF. Buyers who need tension calibration can order it as an option. Those requiring capacities above 500 lb or operation outside the -65 to 200 ºF safe range should consider other models.

Highlights

  • 500 lb compression capacity for heavy-duty weighing
  • 2 mV/V nominal output delivers clear signal strength
  • 1 % nonlinearity ensures consistent accuracy
  • 5200 Hz natural frequency supports dynamic measurements
  • 003 in deflection minimises structural deformation

Questions about this item

What mounting clearance does the 0.003 in deflection require?

Allow at least 0.003 in of vertical travel under full 500 lb load so the cell can deflect without binding.

Which wiring step is most often missed when connecting the 350 O bridge to a 10 V DC supply?

Connecting the shield drain wire to ground on the indicator side only — omitting it creates noisy readings.

When should the compression calibration be re-verified given the 60 to 160 ºF compensated range?

Re-check calibration if the cell regularly operates near 160 ºF or after any overload beyond 150 % of rated capacity.
