FTKL Shear Beam Load Cell
Rugged nickel-plated shear beam load cell for precise industrial weighing. Ideal for harsh environments, compliant with international standards.
Key features
- Capacity from 500 kg to 5000 kg
- OIML R60 C3 to C5 certified
- IP67 protection for harsh environments
- High accuracy: combined error ≤ ±0.02%
- Multiple international certifications available
- Nickel-plated AISI 4340 steel construction
Performance highlights
The FTKL shear beam load cell delivers outstanding accuracy with a combined error of ≤ ±0.02% (C3), ≤ ±0.017% (C4), and ≤ ±0.014% (C5). Designed to meet rigorous industrial requirements, it provides a rated output of 3 mV/V ±0.1% and ensures stable readings under full load.
Usage conditions
Thanks to its IP67 rating, the FTKL is suitable for wet and dusty industrial environments. It operates reliably within a temperature range of -35 °C to +65 °C and offers excellent resistance to overload and creep.
Possible applications
- Industrial weighing systems
- Tank and hopper scales
- Process control systems
- Batching and mixing applications
- OEM weighing modules
