Rice Lake Weighing Systems RL750161-2.5K Weighing Load Cell

Rice Lake RL750161-2.5K is a 2,500-pound capacity double-ended beam weighing load cell from Rice Lake Weighing Systems. Built in the RL75016 family, this device provides a robust, symmetrical mounting footprint ideal for platform and bench-scale interfaces in industrial weighing systems. The “2.5K” designation confirms its 2,500 lb full-scale rating, making it suitable for mid-range weighing applications where stability and repeatability matter. A stainless-steel variant exists as RL750161-2.5KSS for environments demanding corrosion resistance. The double-ended beam design distributes load between both ends, enabling flexible installation in scale frames and fixtures. It is typically integrated with Rice Lake indicators or controllers and paired with compatible mounting hardware to form a complete weighing solution. In practice, this class of load cell is used in applications such as platform scales and checkweighers, where accurate weight measurement under repeated loading is essential and where the load cell must resist overload and maintain linearity across the service range. When selecting this model, verify the electrical configuration and mounting hole geometry from the official Rice Lake documentation or an authorized distributor to ensure proper fit with your scale construction and signal chain.
