Rice Lake RL32018 Single-Ended Beam Load Cell – 1,000 lb Capacity
 
The Rice Lake RL32018 – 1,000 lb capacity load cell is a compact, high-accuracy single-ended beam load cell engineered for industrial applications requiring reliable mid-range weight measurement. Constructed from nickel-plated alloy steel and sealed to an IP66 environmental rating, this load cell delivers long-lasting performance even in dusty, wet, or washdown-prone environments.
 
Designed for use in platform scales, batching systems, bin and tank weighing, and light industrial automation, the RL32018’s 1,000 lb capacity makes it ideal for systems where precision and space efficiency are critical. It produces a full scale output of 3.0 mV/V ±0.05%, allowing for precise signal performance with minimal error. The load cell is configured with a 400 ohm input resistance and 350 ohm output resistance, supporting excitation voltages up to 15 VDC (10 VDC recommended).
 
Performance is consistent across a compensated temperature range of –14 °F to 104 °F, and its operating range extends to 150 °F. The load cell tolerates 150% of rated capacity in safe overload and 100% in safe sideload, providing mechanical resilience and long-term system stability.
 
This model is NTEP certified (CC 18-106) and FM approved, ensuring suitability for regulated trade and hazardous locations. It ships with a 20-foot integral cable using a standard 4-wire color-coded configuration, making installation straightforward in both new and retrofit systems.
 
Combining certified precision with industrial-grade protection and signal integrity, the RL32018 in the 1,000 lb capacity is a trusted solution for professionals seeking performance, reliability, and value in a compact load cell package.
