Siemens SIWAREX WL Series Load Cell Compression, 10 t, Stainless Steel, IP68, 12V DC 7MH5108-5AD00

The Siemens 7MH5108-5AD00 SIWAREX WL Series Load Cell is a high-performance industrial force sensor designed for compression measurement up to 10 tons. Built with a solid stainless steel cylinder, it is equipped with four strain gauges to deliver precise load evaluation. This load cell is engineered for demanding environments where reliability and accuracy are essential. It is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications including container, hopper, and vehicle scales used in manufacturing, material handling, and process automation.

Its compact dimensions (22 mm length, width and depth) allow for flexible installation in tight spaces. The hermetically sealed, corrosion-resistant housing ensures long-lasting operation, even under adverse conditions or frequent washdowns. An IP68 ingress protection rating guarantees resistance to dust and permits submersion in water for up to 30 minutes, meeting requirements for hygienic or wet-zone applications.

With a maximum 12V DC supply, the SIWAREX WL load cell integrates efficiently into contemporary automation systems and PLCs. The device features screw-type terminals for convenient connection. OIML R60 certification confirms its compliance with international weighing and measurement standards, supporting traceability and regulatory conformity in industrial weighing installations.

The load cell operates reliably between -35°C and 65°C, making it suitable for temperature-variable environments, such as outdoor weighing platforms or refrigerated processing areas. Its sensitivity is sufficient to detect minute changes in force, offering accurate and actionable data for equipment protection, alignment, and process control.

Key industrial use cases include weighing hoppers, batch containers, vehicle-mounted scales, and integrated process automation in laboratory, manufacturing, agricultural, and logistics sectors. Its compact, rugged design makes it well-suited for installations requiring minimal footprint and maximum reliability.

For engineers, this load cell offers ease of maintenance, straightforward installation, and robust operation over extended periods, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
