Overview
The Merrick N39188-71 load cell transducer is a proven industrial-grade force measurement sensor rated at 100KC (100 kilograms) capacity with a 1.0mV/V output signal. This four-wire load cell is manufactured by Merrick, a recognized producer of weighing and load measurement components for industrial automation and control systems. The N39188-71 is designed to integrate into existing gravimetric feeders, platform scales, and process weighing systems, providing reliable load measurement output suitable for analog signal conditioning and control module inputs.
