Tension Link Load Cell
The MSI Tension Link load cell was designed for permanent installations and features a mil-spec connector and analog communications sensor to interface with weight transmitters and readout instrumentation, including the MSI-8004HD weight indicator, Rice Lake’s SCT signal conditioning transmitters or MSI’s TranSend® wireless load cell interface.
