CB.1500-3Q2 bending and shear beam load cell — stainless steel, IP68/IP69K (KERN)

The CB.1500-3Q2 is a stainless-steel bending and shear beam load cell engineered for industrial weighing in harsh environments and for legally controlled applications.

• Stainless steel construction, corrosion-resistant
• IP68/IP69K protection for washdowns
• Output 2 mV/V for accurate signal detection
• OIML Class C3 for legal-for-trade applications

Precise signals for legal and industrial weighing

The high nominal output of 2 mV/V and the OIML Class C3 classification provide a reliable basis for both industrial process control and legal-for-trade installations. The increased signal level simplifies downstream amplification and digitisation, reducing measurement noise and the need for repeated calibrations. As a strain-gauge based weighing sensor, the device converts force into a stable electrical value, which is essential when repeatability and traceability are required in production and commercial transactions.

Built to resist harsh environments and washdowns

Constructed from stainless steel and protected to IP68/IP69K under EN 60529, this transducer tolerates high-pressure washdowns and corrosive workshop atmospheres. The specified operating range of -30 °C to 70 °C allows continuous service in cold storage, outdoor platforms and heated production lines without loss of accuracy. Robust material selection and sealing reduce maintenance intervals and extend service life, supporting uninterrupted weighing operations in demanding settings.

Straightforward integration and stable electrical performance

The load cell uses a 4-wire connection and presents a consistent 2 mV/V output that integrates with industrial indicators, junction boxes and digital converters. The compact, low-mass design facilitates mounting into existing frames or weighing platforms, while the clear signal characteristics support easy configuration of filters and excitation voltages in control systems. Compatibility with common weighing electronics ensures predictable behaviour in automated scales and batching systems.

Durability, traceability and production benefits

Rated for capacities up to 1,500 kg, the sensor balances mechanical strength with fine resolution suitable for pallet scales, platform weighers and process hoppers. Manufactured by KERN and originating from Spain, the component delivers consistent performance and can be specified where both mechanical durability and measurement integrity are required. The sealed construction and approved metrological class make it a pragmatic choice for workshops and industrial users seeking dependable weighing components that reduce rework and downtime.

FAQ

What does OIML Class C3 mean for accuracy?
OIML Class C3 indicates that the load cell meets recognised international limits for accuracy and repeatability, making the CB.1500-3Q2 suitable for many commercial and industrial weighing tasks where legal-for-trade performance is required.

Can this load cell be used in food or washdown environments?
Yes, the stainless steel construction combined with IP68/IP69K protection makes the unit suitable for environments requiring frequent washdowns; the sealing prevents ingress under high-pressure and high-temperature cleaning.

What electrical connection and signal can be expected?
The device uses a 4‑wire connection and delivers a nominal output of 2 mV/V, which is compatible with standard weighing indicators and amplifiers commonly used in industrial installations.

How does temperature affect performance?
The load cell is specified for -30 °C to 70 °C. Within this range, temperature compensation and stable materials ensure reliable measurement; for extreme conditions, calibration strategies should be applied to maintain metrological accuracy.

Is the product ready for direct mounting in a platform scale?
Yes, the bending and shear beam design is intended for integration into platform and pallet scales; mechanical mounting should follow the supplier’s guidelines to preserve accuracy and to avoid overloading.
