Description

The DDEN series of submersible in-line load cells are designed for use in both tension and compression. It is sealed to IP68 environmental protection rating with ‘O’ rings to provide integrity at depths of up to 10 metres as standard. Greater depths and customised version can be provided, please contact our sales team. 

The DDEN fully submersible load cell is designed to be used underwater or in areas subject to high humidity or the risk of flooding. Current applications include wave tank measurement systems and mooring buoy cable tension monitoring. The DDEN’s low profile and compact design, enables its use in applications with restricted mounting space, where other in-line load cells such as the s-beam load cells are too large.

The DDEN’s low deflection and high natural frequency results lends it to material testing applications and cable tension monitoring applications.

If a conditioned analogue output or digital output is needed we offer a DDENA variant. The DDENA can incorporate any of the ICA series amplifiers to provide a high-level analogue output signal such as 0.1-10Vdc or 4-20mA, or it can be fitted with a DCELL to provide an RS485 output in ASCII, Modbus, CAN or CANopen protocols.
