What applications is the RL1380 best suited for?

The RL1380 is designed for small bench scales, lab balances, retail or packaging hoppers, light-duty platform scales, and any weighing application requiring compact, low-capacity load cells.

Is the RL1380 good for food, retail, or lab environments?

Yes — its stainless steel housing and small size make it well suited for clean, indoor environments such as labs, food retail counters, and packaging stations.

What cable length is supplied with RL1380?

Each RL1380 comes with a 10-foot cable, ideal for flexible installation or retrofitting existing scale systems.

Can the RL1380 replace older low-capacity single-point cells?

Often yes — if the original load cell has a similar capacity and mounting style, the RL1380 can be a direct replacement. Contact us with your scale model or platform details for confirmation.

What capacity options are available?

7 kg, 10 kg, 15 kg, 30 kg, and 60 kg options let you match the scale to your application needs — from precise lab balances to higher-capacity retail or packaging platforms.

The Rice Lake RL1380 stainless-steel single-point load cell delivers dependable, corrosion-resistant performance for small platform scales, lab balances, retail hoppers, and light-duty packaging applications. With capacities ranging from 7 kg to 60 kg and a 10 ft cable for easy installation or retrofit, the RL1380 is ideal when you need a compact sensor without sacrificing accuracy or build quality.

Built to last with stainless steel construction, the RL1380 balances light-duty capacity needs with ruggedness, making it suitable for commercial, food-processing, educational, or laboratory environments. Whether you’re building a new scale, replacing an aging load cell, or integrating weighing into an OEM solution — the RL1380 is a cost-effective, reliable choice.
