  • FTP Shear Beam Load Cell (ATEX)

FT-P Shear beam load cell

High-accuracy stainless steel shear beam load cell for hygienic and industrial weighing applications requiring excellent environmental protection.


Key features

  • 17-4 PH stainless steel construction
  • Combined error ≤ ±0.02%
  • IP68 protection rating
  • OIML R60 C3 approved
  • Capacities from 300 kg to 2000 kg

Performance highlights

The FT-P shear beam load cell is designed for precise and stable weighing performance in industrial environments. With a combined error of ≤ ±0.02% and OIML R60 C3 approval, it delivers reliable and repeatable measurements for legal-for-trade and process weighing systems.

Usage conditions

Thanks to its welded stainless steel body and IP68 protection rating, the FT-P is suitable for harsh environments, including applications exposed to moisture, washdown, and mechanical stress. Optional IP69K certification enables safe operation under high-pressure and steam-jet cleaning conditions.

Possible applications

  • Platform scales
  • Conveyor and checkweighers
  • Industrial process weighing
  • Hygienic weighing systems
  • OEM weighing solutions

Advantages of choosing this product

The FT-P combines excellent metrological performance with high environmental resistance. Its compatibility with multiple mounting kits and optional ATEX and IECEx certifications makes it suitable for regulated, hygienic, and hazardous-area applications.

Other important features

  • High overload resistance
  • Stable long-term signal output
  • Compatible with PV, PVZ, TFPS2000, T12FTAGP and TF500/2000 mounting kits
