Description

The GSL315 load cell utilizes a high-quality strain gauge bridge bonded to a durable alloy steel body, providing precise and stable electrical output proportional to the applied force. Its design ensures excellent linearity, low creep, and high resistance to side loads and bending moments.

Engineered for industrial environments, the sensor features a wide operating temperature range and is protected against overloads up to 200% of its rated capacity. The 10 VDC recommended excitation voltage optimizes signal-to-noise ratio and long-term stability for critical measurement applications in process control and testing.

Key Features

  • Dual-Function Sensing: Accurately measures both tensile (pulling) and compressive (pushing) forces.
  • High Precision & Stability: Offers a comprehensive error of ±0.1% F.S. with low temperature effect on output (±0.05% F.S./10°C).
  • Industrial Durability: Constructed from high-strength alloy steel for reliable performance under harsh conditions and dynamic loads.
  • Optimized Electrical Interface: Standard 1.5–2.0 mV/V sensitivity with 350Ω/380Ω bridge resistances for easy integration with standard instrumentation.
  • Robust Environmental Specs: Operates from -20°C to +65°C and features high overload protection.
  • High-Value Build: Provides a reliable and accurate sensing solution for demanding industrial force measurement applications.

Applications

  • Industrial platform and hopper weighing systems for bulk material handling.
  • Force monitoring in structural testing frames and material testing machines.
  • Tension control in cable winches, cranes, and lifting machinery.
  • Process control and overload protection in industrial presses and assembly lines.
  • Integration into custom-built electronic scales for heavy-capacity weighing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended excitation voltage for the GSL315 load cell?

The GSL315 is optimized for a 10 VDC excitation voltage. Operating within this specification ensures optimal signal-to-noise ratio, long-term stability, and rated accuracy. While it may function at lower voltages, the output signal (mV/V) will be proportionally reduced, potentially affecting measurement resolution.

Can this sensor measure both pulling and pushing forces?

Yes, the GSL315 is a dual-function load cell specifically designed for both tension (pulling) and compression (pushing) measurements. Its robust alloy steel construction and internal strain gauge configuration are engineered to handle bidirectional loading with high accuracy and repeatability.

How do I connect and read the signal from this load cell?

The load cell has a 4-wire connection: Excitation+ (E+), Excitation- (E-), Signal+ (S+), and Signal- (S-). You must connect it to a compatible load cell amplifier or weigh module that provides the 10 VDC excitation and converts the small mV-level output signal into a standard analog voltage (0-5V, 0-10V) or digital communication protocol (RS485, Modbus) for your PLC or data acquisition system.

What is the difference between the 380Ω and 750Ω input resistance variants?

The two input resistance options (380±10Ω and 750±15Ω) allow for compatibility with different instrumentation. The lower resistance (380Ω) is a common industrial standard. The higher resistance (750Ω) may be used in systems where lower excitation current or specific bridge matching is required. Always verify your amplifier's specifications to select the correct variant.
