A 6 wire load cell will not perform within specifications if the sense lines are not used.
Load cell cable length.
Load cells a load cell is a specialized force sensor that is designed to measure a specific type of force acting upon it.
For highly custom projects you can attach tiny strain gauges to a material to measure specific forces acting on that member.
Length of the standard cable for which the load cell is calibrated.
Rice lake offers a broad selection of load cell cable as well as the ability to custom build cable designed specifically for your application.
If by chance the load cell cable requires cutting or extension to reach a summing box then all cables need to be the same length and of the same wire gauge on the load cell or the load cell series.
The resistance of a load cell cable varies with length and ambient temperature.

The maximum load that can be applied to a load cell without causing permanent effects to its performance specifications.
Temperature effects on extension cables in many cases the degraded performance of a weighing system caused by temperature effects on the extension cable is very small.
There are load cells to measure compression tension and shear forces.
6 core cables are suited to 6 core load cells extension of 4 core load cells and connection to indicators where use of sense wires is desired to ensure there is no loss in accuracy that can be observed when the length of 4 core load cell cables is changed.
Load cell cable is available in good quality in difference gauges.
4 wire cables are typically used in shorter lengths as a thicker cable is needed to contain the voltage drop over longer spans of wire.
However for the majority of load cell installations any output change resulting from cable length alteration is easily compensated for with a junction box with trimming capability.
4 core cable can be used for 4 core load cells or general signal transmission.
Next the load cell or series of load cells must be re calibrated to ensure that data results are correct.
Many load cell manufacturers recommend not altering shortening the load cell cable length and most manufacturers will not honor the warranty on altered products.
The table below shows the recommended wire gauge over.
As the cable s length and temperature increase so does its resistance.
Measured as a of full scale output.
