DTX Double Shear Beam Load Cell

High-capacity load cell for industrial weighing applications. Designed for durability, precision, and harsh environments.


Key features

  • AISI 4340 nickel-plated steel
  • Combined error ≤ ±0.02%
  • IP68 protection rating
  • Wide capacity range from 20 klb to 60 klb
  • ATEX, IECEx, and FM HazLoc certifications available
  • High output signal of 3.0 mV/V

Performance highlights

The DTX double shear beam load cell delivers robust and high-precision force measurement. With a combined error of ≤ ±0.02% and a high output of 3.0 mV/V, it ensures stable readings even in demanding applications.

Usage conditions

Thanks to its IP68 protection rating and nickel-plated steel construction (AISI 4340), this load cell is well-suited for use in wet, dusty, or corrosive industrial environments. It supports safe overload up to 150% and ultimate overload up to 300%.

Possible applications:

  • Industrial floor and tank scales
  • Silo and hopper weighing systems
  • Process automation and batching systems
  • Harsh outdoor and hazardous environments
  • Load measurement in heavy-duty test rigs

Advantages of choosing this product

With its exceptional mechanical robustness, wide range of international certifications (including ATEX and IECEx), and reliable signal output, the DTX load cell offers an ideal solution for safety-critical and heavy-duty industrial applications.

Other important features:

  • Operating temperature range: -35 °C to +65 °C
  • Minimal creep: 0.016% in 30 minutes
  • Cable length: 9 m shielded with 4 conductors
  • Calibration certificate available (ISO 376 or ASTM E74)
  • Mounting kits available for optimal integration
