Shear Beam Load cell

About Shear Beam Load cell

The 30310 / 30310-SS is a high-accuracy single-ended shear beam load cell designed for industrial weighing and force measurement applications. It is manufactured from electroless nickel-plated tool steel or stainless steel (SS 17-4 PH) for durability and reliable performance in harsh industrial environments. The load cell offers excellent accuracy, environmental protection up to IP67/IP68, and capacities ranging from 30 kgf to 20 tf. It is ideal for platform scales, tank and hopper weighing systems, crane scales, industrial automation, robotics, and tension measurement applications.
