This low cost shear beam load cell is ideal for applications where fully welded, hermetically sealed products are not required. It is manufactured from alloy steel and nickel plated, with the strain gauged pockets protected by a silicone compound for protection to IP66.
This cell is typically used in weighing platforms, tank and vessel weighing, big-bag (FIBC) filling machines and conveyors. It is approved to OIML R60 3000 divisions and calibrated in mV/V/Ω by output current matching – which minimises corner correction time on multi-cell platform scales.
