KERN CT.1000-3Q1 Shear Beam Load Cell — 1000 kg, Stainless Steel

The CT.1000-3Q1 is a stainless-steel shear beam load cell designed for industrial weighing applications such as platform, hopper and pit scales, offering dependable performance under heavy-duty conditions.

• Shear-bar design in stainless steel
• IP68/IP69K protection for harsh environments
• Rated capacity 1000 kg, OIML class C3
• 5 m cable with 6-lead connection

Consistent accuracy for demanding production lines

The CT.1000-3Q1 is engineered as a shear beam load cell with a rated capacity of 1000 kg and an output sensitivity of 2 mV/V, which together provide stable readings and good signal strength for the weighing electronics. The OIML C3 classification signals mid-range legal-for-trade accuracy suitable for many industrial and commercial applications, making it appropriate where repeatable, verifiable measurement is required. The stainless-steel shear-bar design minimises mechanical distortion and helps maintain calibration under repeated loads, reducing downtime and calibration frequency.

Built to withstand harsh and hygienic environments

With an IP68/IP69K rating and an operating temperature range from -30°C to 70°C, this cell resists dust, immersion and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. These characteristics make the unit particularly fitting for sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals where frequent cleaning is necessary. Compliance with CE and RoHS standards further supports safe integration into regulated production environments. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction supports long-term use in damp or corrosive atmospheres, preserving mechanical integrity and measurement reliability.

Simple integration and service-ready features

Installation is simplified by the 5 m cable and 6‑lead connection, allowing secure wiring to most indicators and junction boxes without additional extension accessories. The cell’s compact mass (approx. 0.9 kg) and robust mounting geometry suit platform, hopper and floor‑mounted weighing assemblies. An EX (explosion-protected) version is available on request for hazardous areas, enabling flexible deployment across a wider range of industrial sites. Originating from Spain and produced by KERN, the load cell is delivered ready for system integration and routine operation.
