CT.5000-3Q1 shear beam load cell by KERN – 5,000 kg capacity, IP68/IP69K

The CT.5000-3Q1 is a stainless steel shear beam load cell designed for industrial weighing tasks such as platform, hopper and floor scales, delivering reliable performance in harsh or hygienic production areas.

• 5,000 kg nominal capacity
• Stainless steel shear beam construction
• IP68/IP69K protection for wet environments
• OIML C3 accuracy, 2 mV/V rated output

Reliable performance for heavy-duty weighing

The shear beam transducer is manufactured in stainless steel to withstand corrosive or wet production environments, offering a nominal capacity of 5,000 kg and certified OIML C3 accuracy for consistent legal-for-trade or factory-floor results. The combination of a high 2 mV/V rated output and a rigid shear element ensures stable signal quality under dynamic loads, making the sensor suitable for continuous batching, filling and inventory applications where measurement repeatability and traceable performance are priorities.

Engineered for straightforward integration and calibration

Equipped with a 6‑wire connection and a factory-fitted 5 m cable, the weighing transducer simplifies system wiring and reduces installation time on new or retrofitted scales. Compliance with CE and RoHS standards supports acceptance in regulated sectors, while the clear rated output eases analogue amplifier or indicator calibration, shortening commissioning phases and lowering engineering overheads. At approximately 2.2 kg, the unit is compact yet mechanically robust for stable mounting on platform frames.

Designed to cut maintenance and keep production running

Protection to IP68/IP69K allows high-pressure washdown and protects the sensing element from ingress during routine cleaning, a decisive advantage for the food and pharma industries as well as outdoor or dusty environments. The operational temperature range of -30°C to 70°C supports cold storage and hot production areas alike, reducing the need for special enclosures. An EX-version is available on request, offering flexibility for potentially explosive atmospheres without compromising uptime.

A dependable choice backed by specialist supply

Produced by KERN and originating from Spain, the transducer blends established manufacturing with practical features for industrial weighing. The CT.5000-3Q1 is a straightforward choice when accuracy, hygienic cleaning and mechanical resilience are required; pairing this sensor with a trusted supplier streamlines procurement and after-sales clarity.
