ROLLMAX SLAB LOAD CELL
Description & Specifications DS.SLC.622.6
ROLLMAX SLAB LOAD CELL
1 DESCRIPTION
KELK Slab Load Cells are electromechanical sensors used to measure force or load in harsh
environments. Their long service life in metals rolling mills has proven them reliable and accurate
under severe operating conditions and high overloads.
As the measuring elements within the load cell, strain gages permit the use of DC excitation to
provide exceptionally fast response to changes in force or load.
2 APPLICATIONS
The shape and mill-worthy construction of KELK ROLLMAX Slab Load Cells makes them particularly
well-suited for use in metals rolling mills, where they are fitted for measurement and control of roll
separating forces and, ultimately, Automatic Gage Control (AGC). In this application, they are usually
mounted under the bottom back-up chock of the mill in order to measure the force evenly spread over
the rectangular area. To ensure uniform pressure over a slab load cell surface, a load distribution plate
of hardened (not soft) steel is required.
As well as in rolling mills, KELK Slab Load Cells can be used in other types of machinery to measure
force or load.
KELK Slab Load Cells interface ROLLMAX DSP2 Digital Signal Processors or with older P1000
Processors and P400 Analog Signal Amplifier. A wide variety of standard features are available to
meet individual roll force measurement requirements.
ROLLMAX 5 YEAR WARRANTY
ROLLMAX Load Cells are warranted not only against

defects in workmanship or material, but against failure of any kind,
however caused, for a period of FIVE YEARS.

KELK Slab Load Cells are sized for each application. To help ensure a successful installation a
detailed drawing showing the cell and adjacent mill components is prepared by KELK engineers.
All necessary mounting hardware is supplied with each load cell.
Each load cell is fitted with a 15 meter (50 foot) teflon cable as standard (other lengths are available).
This is permanently attached, has four conductors shielded, and is armoured for protection.
3 FEATURES
• Mechanically interchangeable with other slab-shaped load cells.
• Manufactured from a single high strength stainless steel forging.
• Hermetically sealed, welded construction, filled with dry inert gas for long term stability.
• Excellent accuracy.
• Durable and accurate over a wide range of temperatures.
• A steel reinforced, oil resistant hydraulic hose assembly to protect the connecting cable.
