FAV Single Point Load Cell | 100-500 kg

Product Description

FAV single point load cell overview

The FAV is an aluminum single point load cell designed for accurate weight measurement in platform scales, belt scales, hopper scales, and packaging systems in the 100 to 500 kg range. As a single point cell, it is engineered so that loads applied anywhere across the platform surface produce an accurate, consistent reading — making it the ideal choice for off-center loading applications where a standard bending beam or shear beam cell would produce errors. The FAV mounts via M8 threaded holes and ships with a 6 m cable. Available in 100 kg, 150 kg, 250 kg, and 500 kg capacities, it is suited for applications that require a higher-capacity single point cell while retaining the simplified installation and compact footprint of a single-cell design. Additional capacities from 60 to 300 kg are available on request — contact Transcell for lead time and pricing.

Typical applications

The FAV is specified for higher-capacity single point platform scale applications where loads up to 500 kg must be measured accurately regardless of position on the platform, using a compact single-cell design.

Platform and floor scales

The FAV is well suited for platform and floor scale applications in the 100 to 500 kg range where a single-cell design simplifies construction. It handles the higher loads found in industrial receiving scales, warehouse floor scales, and general-purpose platform weighing where accurate off-center reading is required.

Belt scales and conveyor weighing

The FAV is listed by Transcell as suitable for belt scale applications where loads are distributed across a platform during continuous weighing on conveyor lines. The single point design accommodates varying load positions across the platform surface without degrading measurement accuracy.

Hopper scales and batching

Suitable for small hopper and batching scale applications where a single-cell platform design is preferred over multi-cell arrangements. The FAV's 100 to 500 kg capacity range covers a wide variety of filling, dispensing, and accumulation weighing tasks in food, chemical, and industrial batching systems.

Heavy bench and shipping scales

The FAV's 100 to 500 kg capacities suit heavy bench scales and large parcel or freight scales in shipping and logistics environments. The single point design ensures accurate readings regardless of how large packages or heavy items are placed on the platform.

OEM scale builds

The FAV's M8 mounting holes and compact aluminum body suit OEM manufacturers building higher-capacity platform scales. Its footprint matches the Tedea 1263, HBM PW24, and NMB C2L1, simplifying drop-in integration into existing scale designs without wiring or mounting changes.

System integration and instrumentation

The FAV produces a standard 2.0 mV/V analog output compatible with any weight indicator, PLC analog input, or DAQ system accepting a mV/V bridge signal. No junction box is needed for single-platform installations, simplifying wiring and reducing system component count.

Technical notes

Installation and mounting

The FAV mounts via M8 threaded holes. The cell body must be mounted on a flat, rigid surface with the platform attached to the top face of the cell. For best accuracy, the mounting surface and platform must be flat and parallel — warped or uneven surfaces will compromise the single point correction and degrade off-center load performance. No summing junction box is required since a single FAV cell handles the full platform area.

System integration

The FAV operates at a rated excitation of 10V DC/AC (15V max) and produces a 2.0 mV/V analog output signal. It is compatible with any standard weight indicator, PLC analog input, or load cell conditioner accepting a mV/V bridge input. Ships with a 6 m cable. The cell is temperature compensated between -10°C and +40°C, with a safe operating range of -10°C to +70°C. Additional capacities from 60 to 300 kg are available on request — contact Transcell for lead time and pricing.
