  • CLBT Pancake (Low Profile) Load Cell (ATEX)

CLBT Compression/tension load cell

Robust and compact force sensor for precise compression and tension measurements in industrial weighing systems.


Key features

  • Combined error ≤ ±0.05%
  • Available in aluminum alloy or stainless steel
  • Complies with OIML R60 standards
  • IP65 protection rating
  • Compact design for versatile installations
  • Optional ATEX certification available

Performance highlights

The CLBT load cell offers accurate bidirectional force measurement with a combined error of ≤ ±0.05%. It ensures stable performance under varying loads and environmental conditions.

Usage conditions

Operating between -30 °C to +90 °C with a safe overload up to 150% and ultimate overload of 300%. Available in aluminum (50–100 kg) and stainless steel (500 kg), making it suitable for different environments and robustness levels.

Possible applications

  • Industrial weighing platforms
  • Force measurement in machinery
  • Testing rigs for material compression/tension
  • Automation systems requiring precise load feedback
  • OEM integration for custom solutions

Advantages of choosing this product

Compact dimensions and flexible mounting options make the CLBT ideal for applications with space constraints. It features a stable mV/V output and excellent insulation resistance (>5000 MΩ), ensuring long-term durability and signal integrity.

Other important features:

  • Rated output: 2 mV/V ±10%
  • Input/Output resistance: 700 Ω
  • Deflection at nominal load: 0.3 mm
  • Cable length: 5 m with 6 x 0.088 mm² cores
  • Temperature effect on zero/span: 0.005% °C
