CT 500-3P2 shear-beam load cell — 500 kg capacity, stainless steel (KERN)

The CT 500-3P2 is a stainless-steel shear-beam load cell designed for industrial weighing applications, offering robust performance for platform, hopper and pit scales in harsh environments.

• Stainless steel shear rod construction
• IP67 protection for harsh environments
• Calibrated output simplifies corner matching
• Suited to platform, hopper and pit scales

Consistent precision for production workflows

The shear-beam design delivers a stable, reproducible signal, making the unit ideal where repeatable weighing is essential. With a rated capacity of 500 kg and OIML Class C3 compliance, the cell provides a dependable basis for process control and inventory management. The rated output of 3 mV/V gives a clear analogue signal level, which facilitates consistent digital conversion when paired with a suitable indicator or junction box. As a result, measurement scatter is reduced and downstream processes benefit from reliable weight data.

Engineered for tough ambient conditions

Constructed from stainless steel with nickel plating and certified to IP67, this load cell resists dust ingress and temporary immersion, supporting operations in environments that challenge standard sensors. The permitted operating range from -35°C to 65°C ensures functional stability across seasonal extremes. These attributes reduce maintenance intervals and downtime, translating to fewer production interruptions and lower long-term operating effort for integration into industrial plants.

Faster installation and lower commissioning effort

The delivery includes a matched calibration value, which significantly eases corner matching when multiple cells are used on a single platform. The model comes with a 4 m cable and a 4-lead connection, enabling straightforward wiring to indicators or summing boxes. Compatibility with common mechanical layouts for platform, hopper and pit scales minimises modification work. For specialised requirements, explosion-protected versions, a 6-lead connection or higher accuracy classes are available on request, supporting tailor-made system integration without unnecessary redesign.
