EMB.5000-0SS05 School Scale by KERN — 5,000 g capacity, 1 g readability

The EMB.5000-0SS05 is a classroom scale designed for experimental teaching, offering a compact footprint and clear LCD readout for routine laboratory tasks.

• 5,000 g maximum capacity
• 1 g readability for precise results
• Stackable design for classroom storage
• Battery and mains operation for flexibility

Practical weighing for teaching and experiments

The classroom balance delivers a 5,000 g capacity with a fine 1 g readability, making it suitable for general laboratory exercises and demonstration experiments. The instrument uses a strain gauge weighing system, a technology that converts mechanical load into an electrical signal, ensuring stable readings under typical school conditions. The plastic weighing plate is easy to clean and resists light impacts, which reduces downtime between lessons. Overall, the design supports repeated weighing tasks without complex handling, so routine measurements remain straightforward and reproducible.

Readability and result reliability that support learning objectives

Clear results are important in instructional settings: the unit features an LCD with 15 mm digits, enhancing legibility from a short distance and during group demonstrations. The balance’s reproducibility of 2 g and linearity of ±3 g provide predictable measurement behaviour across the range, which helps students compare outcomes and learn about experimental uncertainty. These technical characteristics translate into reliable class data and fewer ambiguous results, supporting teaching goals that require reproducible measurements.

Robust operation and flexible power options for daily school use

Built for everyday use, the scale is stackable to save storage space and weighs just 2 kg, making it easy to move between classrooms. Dual power capability—2×1.5 V AA batteries with a typical battery life of 35 h and the option of a plug-in mains adapter—ensures operation whether a power socket is available or not. Charging or battery care is straightforward, with a typical recharge or conditioning period of 10 h. The unit functions within a classroom climate range of 5 °C to 35 °C and up to 80% relative humidity, matching typical school environments.

Compact design and simple upkeep minimise interruptions

With compact external dimensions of 145 × 205 × 45 mm and a 120 mm diameter weighing pan, the balance fits easily on a lab bench or in mobile teaching trolleys. The strain gauge system minimises mechanical wear and keeps servicing needs low, while the plastic pan and clear display reduce cleaning time. These practical design choices help maintain lesson flow: fewer adjustments, quick set-up and dependable readings that let teachers focus on instruction rather than instrument management.
