The RCSBC3 tension load cell from HBM is a robust, hermetically-encapsulated S-type load cell made from stainless steel that measures heavy loads from 500 kg up to 5 tonnes. The load cell is suitable for a wide range of hybrid, overhead track and conveyor scale applications.
Tension load cells are particularly suited to process applications where the product needing measurement is contained in large tanks or is being transported on conveyor belts. In such cases, the most suitable measurement method is often to suspend the weighing tank or conveyor belt by tension load cells.
The RSCBC3 tension load cell satisfies the OIML test requirements for up to 3000d. It is approved for use in class III legal-for-trade scales. It can be used in Zone 1, 2 (gas) and 21, 22 (dust) potentially explosive atmospheres.
For optimum weighing accuracy, HBM provides rod end bearings enabling the RCSBC3 tension load cell to be installed vertically.
