Interface & Flintec Load Cell Replacement Review
Review an independent MT-PLC alternative against the complete installed sensor. A 1:1 drop-in fit is confirmed only after the original drawing, electrical record and application duty are checked.
Route a replacement enquiry to the right review.
Enter the complete original model to start a review.
This is a bounded family routing aid. Unknown models, non-pancake geometries and unverified brands go to manual review. No supplier stock, drawing match or original-model capacity is inferred.
Original family → candidate MT-PLC review.
| Original reference | Candidate family | Required review |
|---|---|---|
| Interface 1210 / 1220 / 1240 | MT-PLC-12 | Thread, flange, base, output and both force directions |
| Interface 1201 compression standard precision lowprofile load cell | MT-PLC-1201 | Full model suffix, spherical contact, total height and loading range |
| Interface 3201 precision stainless steel compression load cell | MT-PLC-3201 | Mounting dimensions, cable exit and assembly-specific sealing |
| Interface 1000 / 1100 / 1200 | MT-PLC-12 / MT-PLC-FAT review | Original accuracy class, alternating force and extraneous loads |
| HBM / HBK U10M / U10S | MT-PLC-12 / dual bridge review | Connection variant, bridge options, moment compensation and stiffness |
| Omega LCHD / Honeywell 3132 | Manual interface review | Full model, mechanical drawing, bridge output and connector assignment |
| FUTEK LCF450 / LCF500 / LCF456 / LCF506 | Manual static / fatigue review | Architecture, capacity, force spectrum and exact original configuration |
| Flintec compression load cell | Exact-model review first | Original model and load path; brand alone does not establish pancake architecture |
Compare the interfaces that can stop a retrofit.
- Record original model, suffix, serial number and drawing revision.
- Measure OD, installed height, thread engagement, BCD, mounting holes and pilot.
- Record bridge resistance, excitation, rated output, polarity, shielding and connector pinout.
- Specify peak / mean load, side force, bending moment, temperature and cycle spectrum.
- Agree fixture approval, calibration points and acceptance limits before installation.

Interface 1201: original manufacturer product record ↗HBK U10M: original manufacturer configuration and documents ↗Interface: low-profile product family directory ↗Reviewed 2026-10-27. Reference data describes the original manufacturers’ products. It does not certify MT-PLC equivalence.
Read the original dimensions with the adapter variant.
The table below describes the original passive HBK U10M without a foot adapter. It is a reference for an installed-part review; MT-PLC fit remains unapproved until the complete interfaces and drawings are compared.
| Original range | OD · mm / in | BCD · mm / in | Cell height · mm / in | Original center thread | Mounting bore ØS · mm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| U10M 1.25 / 2.5 / 5 kN | 104.8 / 4.126 | 88.9 / 3.500 | 34.9 / 1.374 | M16×2-4H | 7; pattern/counterbores per source drawing |
| U10M 12.5 / 25 kN | 104.8 / 4.126 | 88.9 / 3.500 | 34.9 / 1.374 | M16×2-4H | 7; pattern/counterbores per source drawing |

| U10M 125 kN | 153.9 / 6.059 | 130.3 / 5.130 | 44.5 / 1.752 | M33×2-4H | 10.5; pattern/counterbores per source drawing |
| U10M 250 kN | 203.2 / 8.000 | 165.1 / 6.500 | 63.5 / 2.500 | M42×2-4H | 13.5; pattern/counterbores per source drawing |
| U10M 500 kN | 279 / 10.984 | 229 / 9.016 | 88.9 / 3.500 | M72×2-4H | 17; pattern/counterbores per source drawing |
The foot adapter changes the assembly. Hole count, counterbores, thread engagement, overall height, output and connector must also be checked. A rounded family/frame label does not establish interchangeability.
Inspect the original HBK dimension drawing ↗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.
