3201-Style Stainless Steel Pancake Load Cells
A stainless steel spoke-type load cell brings the low-profile flange architecture to corrosive and wet installations. Seal performance depends on the finished assembly, including the cable exit and connector.
Confirm the bolt circle and center thread.

| MT-PLC-3201 | 2.5–1,000 kN 562–224,809 lbf | Project drawing required | Cell / base / button stack reviewed separately | Metric / imperial loading interface review | BCD, count, bore, counterbore and pilot on released drawing | Sensor and full assembly mass confirmed before freight |
For an installed replacement, supply the original drawing or measured envelope. Original manufacturer reference dimensions are labeled separately; they are not approved MT-PLC dimensions.

Define the load envelope behind the number.
- Specify chemical species, concentration, temperature, washdown or immersion duration.
- Request the assembly-specific sealing report; an IP68 design request is not a universal immersion rating.
- For vessels, submit support count, tare, thermal expansion and piping restraint loads. Hazardous-area approval requires separate evidence.
Reference review: Interface 3200 / 3201; Flintec only after exact model review. Original brand references do not establish fit, approval or affiliation.
Questions to settle before the fixture is frozen.
Does the IP test include the selected connector?
Specify chemical species, concentration, temperature, washdown or immersion duration.
Is chemical exposure compatible with the cable and seal?
Request the assembly-specific sealing report; an IP68 design request is not a universal immersion rating.
Does the installation need hazardous-area approval?
For vessels, submit support count, tare, thermal expansion and piping restraint loads. Hazardous-area approval requires separate evidence.
Packed mass and freight are itemized.
Compact models (1–25 kN): DHL Express parcel quotation with destination-specific transit estimates. Intermediate models (over 25 to under 50 kN): shipping assessed by packed mass. Heavy-capacity models (50–2,000 kN), including base assemblies: itemized DHL/FedEx heavy air freight on the formal Proforma Invoice. Availability, dispatch, customs and final freight are confirmed for the actual assembly and destination.
Qualify the sealed assembly for the actual exposure.
| Decision | Review input / acceptance |
|---|---|
| 17-4PH assembly request | Identify material condition, medium, concentration, temperature and exposure duration. |
| Seal boundary | Review connector mated/unmated state, cable exit, washdown or immersion conditions. |
| Process-vessel supports | Include tare, working load, support count, piping restraint and thermal movement. |
The engineering brief defines a request. The released datasheet and STEP file are supplied for the reviewed part and revision.
Approve the calibration boundary with the fixture.
Specify whether the calibration covers the sensor alone or the sensor, mounting base, button, cable and amplifier as a system. Request traceability and uncertainty for the actual force range and direction.
Review calibration, standards and record requirements ↗For a replacement, retain the full original model, both drawing revisions and the receiving instrument configuration. Machine verification is a separate acceptance step.
Request a calibration plan ↗Bring the load path.
We’ll review the fit.
Send your capacity, center thread and mounting envelope. Include the full original part number when replacing an installed sensor.
CAD and test reports are supplied for the agreed configuration. No generic drawing is presented as an approved production part.
