View technical specifications

Key features

  • Capacity range from 15,000 to 50,000 kg
  • 17-4 PH stainless steel construction
  • Combined error ≤ ±0.035%
  • IP68 protection rating
  • Optional ATEX & IECEx certification
  • Optional dual redundant bridge for safety systems

Performance highlights

The CBX compression load cell is designed for accurate high-load weighing applications, offering capacities from 15,000 to 50,000 kg. With a combined error of ≤ ±0.035%, it delivers reliable performance for demanding industrial environments. Rated output is 2 mV/V with a linear and stable signal.

Usage conditions

The sensor is built in corrosion-resistant 17-4 PH stainless steel and has an IP68 protection rating. It is suitable for use in environments ranging from -20 °C to +70 °C, with a compensated range of -10 °C to +50 °C. Safe overload capacity is up to 150%, with an ultimate overload rating of 300%.

Possible applications

  • Static weighing of silos and large tanks
  • Heavy-duty industrial weighing systems
  • Force monitoring in process plants
  • OEM integrations for heavy-load equipment
  • Load limit monitoring in safety-critical systems

Advantages of choosing this product

The CBX series offers precision, strength, and adaptability. It is ATEX and IECEx certifiable, and optionally available with a redundant Wheatstone bridge for dual-safety circuit integration. Its wide capacity range and mechanical resilience make it a strong candidate for industrial weighing where downtime and failure are not acceptable.
