Cardinal Scales ZX-1000 Stainless Steel Tension Load Cell

ZX-1000 is Cardinal Scales’ stainless steel tension load cell from the ZX Series, rated for 1,000 pounds (455 kg) of tension. It features durable stainless steel construction and an environmentally sealed, waterproof design optimized for wet or washdown environments, with ZX Series offering IP‑68 protection in applicable configurations. The load cell is intended for single‑cell or multi‑cell tension installations, enabling precise force measurement in scales where multiple cells share load. In the ZX family, the ZX‑1000 is a 3 mV/V full‑scale output device, which supports robust signal conditioning when used with a suitable amplifier and instrumentation. Some listings indicate NTEP‑listed configurations for the ZX‑1000, making it suitable for legal‑for‑trade applications when paired with compatible indicators and assemblies. The ZX‑1000 is commonly used in bench scales, tank and hopper scales, and other tension‑based weighing systems where a compact, corrosion‑resistant stainless steel cell is required. Its compact form and compatibility with Cardinal’s mounting hardware facilitate straightforward integration into existing tension scale setups, while its stainless steel body provides protection against corrosion in demanding environments. This combination of capacity, sealing, and rugged construction makes the ZX‑1000 a trusted option for accurate tension measurement in commercial scales that place a premium on durability and repeatability.
