KERN CB 500-3Q1 bending and shear-beam load cell, stainless steel, OIML C3

The CB 500-3Q1 is a stainless-steel bending and shear-beam load cell designed for industrial weighing and force measurement in harsh environments across production, logistics and processing plants.

• Stainless-steel bending and shear-beam design
• Rated for 500 kg capacity
• IP68/IP69K protection for harsh environments
• OIML R60 C3 approved accuracy

Robust performance for continuous industrial operation

The stainless steel construction and IP68/IP69K rating ensure long-term operation where dust, water jets and washdowns are frequent. The bending and shear-beam design converts applied force into a stable electrical signal, providing consistent results on platform scales, hopper systems and floor scales. Built for continuous use, the sensor’s corrosion-resistant housing reduces downtime and maintenance needs while supporting high machine-availability targets.

Measurable precision and compliance for regulated sectors

Certified to OIML R60 C3 and complying with EN 60529, this load cell supplies a standardised 2 mV/V nominal output that simplifies calibration and verification routines. The specification is suited to manufacturing, chemical processing and food or pharmaceutical applications where traceable measurement and compliance are required. The clear performance metrics enable a predictable measurement chain and support documented quality assurance procedures.

Simple electrical connection and fast system integration

Equipped with a 4-wire connection, the sensor provides reliable excitation and signal paths for stable readings under varying environmental and cable conditions. The defined electrical output allows straightforward interfacing with common indicators and data acquisition systems, reducing commissioning time. The compact mass and standardised dimensions aid retrofit into existing weighing frames without extensive mechanical modification.

Designed for demanding materials and environments

The load element’s material and sealing concept make it suitable for use in sectors where hygiene or aggressive cleaning regimes apply. With an operating temperature range from -30 °C to 70 °C, the device maintains performance across typical cold-store and heated-process environments. The compact weight and robust construction support ease of handling during installation while maintaining mechanical resilience under repeated load cycles.
