The Rice Lake RL20001I S-beam load cell delivers reliable tension and compression performance for industrial weighing and force measurement systems. Constructed from high-alloy nickel-plated steel with IP67 environmental protection, the RL20001I is built for durability in dusty or damp environments where consistent accuracy is critical.
Engineered for demanding industrial applications including hoppers, batching systems, crane and hanging scales, and test stands, the RL20001I features a stable 3.0 mV/V output and strong overload protection to handle dynamic loading conditions.
Available in a full lineup of capacities and supplied with a standard 20-foot cable, the RL20001I-T10 variant also supports both tension and compression mounting configurations. Select the capacity required for your replacement or new installation. For help confirming compatibility, our team can assist with matching connections, capacities, and mounting hardware.
