CB 250-3Q1 bending and shear beam load cell (stainless steel, IP68/IP69K) by KERN

The CB 250-3Q1 is a stainless-steel bending and shear beam load cell designed for robust weighing duties in industrial, food and pharmaceutical environments

• Stainless-steel construction
• IP68/IP69K protection
• 250 kg nominal capacity
• 2 mV/V nominal output

Durable construction for washdown and corrosive environments

The load cell features a stainless-steel body and an elevated ingress protection rating (IP68/IP69K), making it suitable for frequent washdowns and aggressive cleaning regimes commonly found in food, pharmaceutical and chemical production. Built to withstand a wide temperature span from -30°C to 70°C, the sensor maintains mechanical stability and long service life under thermal stress. CE and RoHS conformity further document adherence to established product-safety and material directives, supporting hygienic and regulatory requirements while reducing the need for frequent replacement.

Stable signal and straightforward integration into weighing systems

Designed for weighing tasks up to 250 kg, the sensor provides a 2 mV/V nominal output, which is compatible with conventional weighing indicators and amplifiers. The 4‑wire connection helps reduce wiring errors and preserves signal integrity over short cable runs. Conformance with EN 60529 clarifies environmental performance expectations, and the compact, low-mass form factor supports simple mechanical integration into platform, hopper and floor scales, enabling predictable behaviour in static and dynamic weighing applications.

Application-focused design that reduces downtime

This bending and shear beam load cell suits a range of industrial applications including platform weighing, hopper monitoring and floor scales in sectors such as food and pharma, chemicals, construction materials, logistics and packaging. The corrosion-resistant material and washdown-capable protection reduce maintenance intervals and help to keep production lines running. As a robust weighing sensor, it supports consistent process control and repeatable measurement results, contributing to improved quality assurance across batch and continuous operations.
