When approached by one of our customers
to design a load cell for underwater
tension measurement, We looked at our
core range of products and decided the
DDE style load cell, which features
M12x1.75 male threads at each end,
would best meet the customer's
requirement, but this model as standard
is only rated to IP65.
With a small, quick and cost effective
re-design we changed the construction
to Stainless Steel with two halves
locking together with a seal.
Internally it was further protected by
back-filling with an inert waterproof
gel. The electrical termination is a
tough IP68 multicore cable that is
connected through an IP68 cable gland,
to complete to fully submersible
sealing.

By modifying an existing product we
were able to keep the cost and
delivery time down to suit our
customers needs, whilst displaying our
capability to modify or design a
product quickly and efficiently.
