Cardinal’s model SB shear beam load cells promote a variety of applications, such as low-profile platform scales, tank and hopper weighing, and other process control systems. Constructed of high-grade stainless steel, these load cells offers strength and protection from caustic or corrosive environments.

Provided with the load cell are mounting holes for securing the cell, and a 6 m integral multiconductor-shielded cable secured by a compression strain relief seal. These cells are welded closed, providing superior waterproofing, while remaining flexible over the life of the load cell. NTEP legal-for-trade and OIML certified.

Cardinal Scale’s 125-kg to 1,250-kg capacity LFB series shear beam load cells have a low profile design that can be mounted directly to the weighing platform. They are made specifically for light to medium weighing applications like floor scales. Their design makes them highly resistant to eccentric loads. These load cells are potted with a proprietary sealant that offers water resistance, while remaining flexible over the life of the load cell. This special compound protects the load cell strain gauges over broad temperature changes. OIML certified.

Cardinal’s stainless steel tension load cells are ideally suited for single or multiple load cell tension applications. Simplicity of design permits their use in a wide variety of configurations. The ZX250, 500 and 1000 load cells are potted with a proprietary waterproof sealant that remains flexible over the life of the load cell and protects the load cell strain gages over a broad temperature range. Load cells ZX-2500 and up have the gage cavity sealed by a welded stainless steel cup. Metric threads are available on most models. NTEP legal-for-trade certified. Available capacities range from 250 lb / 113 kg to 20,000 lb / 9072 kg.

The most crucial parts of a weighbridge are the load cells. Their construction quality, reliability and way of installation greatly determine the final weighing accuracy.
