MSNST #13XXXXX & #14XXXXX Load Cell Highlights:
Measurement Specialists Inc, dba National Scale Technology, manufactures shear beam, or cantilever-style load cells optimized to weigh between 100 and 1,000,000 pounds for applications which include movement. On-site electrical engineers and technicians allow for customized bridge, excitation, output, and wiring configurations.
Beam load cells are horizontal, rectangular sills ideal for use in medical scales, packaging and shipping scales, and vehicle scales. Thanks to an inherent self-centering design, Measurement Specialists’ beam cells are great for providing uplift restraint. MSNST manufactures units interchangeable with most other force measurement brands – consistently reporting higher performance metrics in terms of accuracy and durability.
MSNST has been a provider and distributor of weighing solutions across the world for 40 years now, and carries beam/cantilever style load cells customizable to fit any need.
Specifications reflect beam-style load cells either currently in stock, or previously engineered and ready-to-assemble, as of August 2022. Accuracy data based on full-scale output readings upon completion of production, which is an average 6–8 weeks period for new load cells. Pricing available for off-the-shelf MSNST #13XXXXX and #14XXXXX units.
