  • FTP Bending Shear Beam Load Cell (ATEX)

FTP shear and bending beam load cell

High-precision stainless steel load cell for static and dynamic force measurements in harsh industrial environments.


Key features

  • AISI 420 stainless steel housing
  • IP67/IP68/IP69K environmental protection
  • Combined error ≤ ±0.02%
  • Wide load range: 75 kg to 10,000 kg
  • OIML R60 C3 certified
  • Optional ATEX, IECEx, and IP69K certifications

Performance highlights

The FTP series load cells from Laumas deliver precise and reliable measurement across a wide load range from 75 kg up to 10,000 kg. Engineered with a robust AISI 420 stainless steel body and certified to OIML R60 C3, the load cells offer a combined error of ≤ ±0.02%, ensuring dependable results in both bending and shear beam configurations.

Usage conditions

These load cells are built for operation in demanding environments, with ingress protection ratings of IP67 (75–300 kg) and IP68/IP69K (500–10,000 kg). They are ideal for wash-down applications and locations exposed to dust, steam, or high-pressure cleaning.

Possible applications

  • Industrial weighing platforms
  • Hopper and silo weighing systems
  • Force measurement in production lines
  • OEM integration in machinery
  • Tank level monitoring
  • Test and measurement setups

Advantages of choosing this product

Choosing the FTP load cell means investing in a sensor that meets international standards for precision and safety, including options for ATEX, IECEx, and IP69K. Installation flexibility, superior mechanical strength, and electrical performance make it suitable for dynamic as well as static load measurement scenarios.
