The SK-02 Cable Sensor is a low cost load cell specially designed to measure the tension force on hoisting rope. Easy installation does not require the hoist to be dismantled nor modified. The SK-02 sensor family covers a large range of cable diameters from 8 to 36 mm and loads 8 k·N (~800 kg) to 150 k·N (~15 tons). Together with a load conditioner (LMU Series) and a digital display (AN Series, GAD Series), The Magtrol SK-02 Cable Sensor constitutes a complete measuring system for continuously monitoring loads and detecting overloads.
