SAUTER CT 1500-3Q1 shear‑beam load cell — stainless steel, IP68/IP69K protection

A SAUTER CT 1500-3Q1 shear‑beam load cell designed for reliable weight and compressive-force measurement in demanding industrial, food‑grade and logistics environments

• Stainless‑steel shear‑bar construction
• IP68/IP69K protection for washdown conditions
• OIML Class C3 accuracy for industrial weighing
• 6‑wire connection with 5 m cable

Precise, verifiable output for industrial processes

The shear‑beam transducer delivers an electrical output of 2 mV/V, providing a clear, industry‑standard signal for weighing electronics and controllers. Certified OIML Class C3, the device supports consistent measurement quality for batching, check‑weighing and filling operations, which reduces rework and improves traceability. The calibrated output and standardised signal format simplify integration with controllers and indicators, allowing measurable performance gains and predictable process control.

Durable materials and ingress protection for harsh conditions

Constructed from stainless steel and rated IP68/IP69K (to EN 60529), the transducer tolerates immersion, high‑pressure cleaning and dusty environments common in chemical, food and building‑materials plants. The operating temperature range of −30°C to 70°C and corrosion‑resistant shear‑bar material extend service life where temperature swings and humidity are routine, translating into lower downtime and fewer maintenance interventions.

System integration and installation benefits

The unit is fitted with a 6‑wire connection and a 5 m factory cable, enabling straightforward wiring and improved compensation for lead resistances in larger installations. With a nominal capacity of 1500 kg, the cell is suitable for platform scales, hopper installations and pit‑mounted weighing systems. The compact shear‑beam design supports stable mounting and repeatable mechanical coupling, which aids in achieving consistent calibration and faster commissioning on the workshop floor.

Compliance and application versatility

Designed for industrial and manufacturing use, the load cell meets CE and RoHS requirements and is suitable for sectors including industry, chemical, food and pharma, construction materials, logistics and packaging. An EX‑rated variant is available on request for potentially explosive atmospheres. The robust mechanical and electrical specifications make the transducer a practical choice where both hygiene and mechanical resilience are required.
