Can the SUCH-LC-TC01 be used near a strong magnet?
I’m looking at the 10 kg SUCH-LC-TC01 and have a few questions about using it near a strong magnet.
1. What grade of stainless steel is used for the sensor body, such as 304 or 316?
2. Are there any other ferromagnetic parts, such as the mounting screws, threaded inserts, cable shielding, or connector?
3. Can the sensor be used close to a strong magnet, or could the magnetic field affect the readings or the sensor itself?
4. If it isn’t suitable, do you have a similar-sized load cell made from aluminum or another non-magnetic material for use near magnets?
The sensor body is made of 17-4PH stainless steel. The waterproof connector also contains some iron.
A strong magnetic field can interfere with the readings, so we don’t recommend using the sensor close to a strong magnet.
At the moment, we don’t have an aluminum alternative or another similar-sized load cell that is suitable for use near strong magnets. Magnetic interference depends on the actual magnetic environment and cannot be reliably predicted or eliminated.
