CR.500-3P1 stainless steel compression load cell — IP68, OIML C3 (KERN)

CR.500-3P1 is a compact stainless steel compression load cell developed for industrial weighing and force measurement applications where moisture, dust and wide temperature fluctuations are present.

Stainless steel construction
IP68 watertight and dustproof
OIML C3 accuracy class

Reliable performance where conditions are extreme

The stainless design provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, extending service life in demanding production environments. With an IP68 rating certified under EN 60529, the sealed housing prevents ingress of dust and water, reducing failure risk and maintenance intervals. The transducer operates across a wide temperature span (-50 °C to 70 °C), which supports outdoor installations and processes with thermal variation while keeping measurement stability.

Accurate integration for industrial weighing systems

Classified to OIML C3, the sensor delivers consistent metrological performance suitable for industrial scales and process weighing. The rated output of 1–2 mV/V is compatible with common amplifiers and weight indicators, allowing straightforward calibration and reliable signal transmission. A maximum capacity of 500 kg supports small to mid-range weighing tasks; the clear specification of output and accuracy simplifies selection for engineers and purchasers seeking defined performance parameters.

Compact, robust design that reduces downtime

At approximately 0.8 kg, the rugged stainless steel body is both easy to handle and resistant to mechanical stress, aiding rapid installation and replacement when required. The construction minimises the need for protective housings, saving space on production lines and simplifying system layout. The combination of proven materials and international conformity delivers a dependable component for long-term operation, supporting uninterrupted workflow and consistent measurement results.
