SAUTER CT 500-3P1 Shear-beam load cell – 500 kg, stainless steel

The CT 500-3P1 is a stainless-steel shear-beam load cell designed for industrial weighing and force measurement in harsh environments

• Stainless-steel shear-beam construction
• IP67 protection for wet environments
• 500 kg nominal load capacity
• 4 m, 4-wire cable with 3 mV/V output

Reliable performance where conditions are demanding

The shear-beam design, made from stainless steel, provides mechanical robustness and corrosion resistance that sustains long-term operation in challenging settings. With IP67 ingress protection and a broad operating range from −35°C to 65°C, this weighing sensor tolerates moisture, dust and temperature fluctuations common in production halls and outdoor installations. The compact, nickel-plated construction reduces maintenance intervals and keeps replacement cycles predictable, supporting uninterrupted process flows.

Traceable accuracy that supports production control

Featuring a nominal sensitivity of 3 mV/V and conformity to OIML class C3, this load cell delivers repeatable results suitable for industrial batching and inventory monitoring. Compliance with CE and RoHS standards underlines regulatory alignment for safety and materials. Stable electrical output and consistent mechanical behaviour minimise recalibration frequency and help to avoid costly rework, thereby improving throughput and the overall cost-efficiency of weighing operations.

Easy integration and application versatility

The unit includes a 4 m, 4-wire cable and a 4-wire connection format for straightforward wiring into junction boxes, amplifiers or digital indicators. Its design is suitable for use in platform scales, hopper scales and pit-mounted weigh systems, and it is well matched to environments in manufacturing, chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries, as well as logistics and building-materials handling. The modest mass of the module supports retrofits where space and load support are constrained, enabling rapid replacement or upgrade of existing weighing systems.

Built for long-term reliability and safety

Constructed as a shear-beam sensor with nickel-plated stainless-steel elements, the device resists environmental stresses and maintains calibration stability under typical industrial loading cycles. The OIML C3 classification and rugged mechanical layout reduce measurement drift and support quality assurance routines in supply chains and production lines. Where explosion-protected variants or higher accuracy grades are required, extended options are available on request to meet specific safety and measurement demands.
