CBL Compression Load Cell – Low Profile
High-capacity compression sensor with IP68 protection and C3 accuracy for heavy industrial weighing applications.
Key features
- Stainless steel 17-4 PH construction
- Capacity range from 250 kg to 100,000 kg
- Accuracy class up to OIML R60 C3
- IP68 protection rating (IP69K on request)
- Very low combined error ≤ ±0.03% (≤ ±0.02% C3)
- Available with ATEX, IECEx and legal-for-trade certifications
Performance highlights
The CBL series is a high-performance compression load cell designed for static weighing tasks up to 100 tons. It features a combined error of just ≤ ±0.03% (or ≤ ±0.02% for C3 class), ensuring precise measurement even in heavy-duty installations. It offers a standard output of 2 mV/V and is compatible with a wide range of mounting accessories.
Usage conditions
Manufactured from 17-4 PH stainless steel, the CBL load cell is resistant to harsh environmental conditions. Rated IP68 as standard, with optional IP69K marking for high-pressure cleaning, this sensor performs reliably across a wide temperature range (-30 °C to +90 °C). It supports safe overload up to 150% and ultimate overload up to 300%.
Possible applications
- Tank and silo weighing
- Truck scales and weighbridges
- Industrial force monitoring
- Process weighing and batching
- OEM integrations in heavy-load equipment
