  • Stainless steel construction
  • Optional load feet and mounting accessories up to 5000 kg
  • Calibrated in mV/V/Ώ
  • Certified to OIML R60 3000d2
  • Available with ATEX certification (see table overleaf)
  • Parylene coating and high-temperature options up to 150°C (302°F)
  • High integrity stainless steel cable entry


LP20 Bending Beam

The LP20 is a fully welded stainless steel bending beam load cell that is hermetically sealed to IP68/IP69K and can be used in the harshest industrial environments. It is suitable for weighing platforms, bag fillers, belt weighers, and tank weighing in the food processing, chemical, pharmaceutical, and general bulk handling industries.

OIML C3 or C6-approved versions are available. A six-wire cable (with sense wires) is supplied as standard.

LP20 load cells are available with ATEX certification for all gas and dust zones. ATEX certification for dust zones 20, 21, and 22 does not require safety barriers, saving substantial costs.

For applications in aggressive environments where stress corrosion or acid attack is an issue, a special parylene coating can be specified as an option. High-temperature variants for continuous operation in environments up to 150°C (302°F) are also available.

  • Capacities from 5 to 500 kg
  • IP68/69K protection
  • Hermetically sealed, fully welded construction
  • Available in high-temperature versions
  • Available with ATEX certification
  • Stainless steel load sensor

  • Option: 6000 divisions OIML R60 Class C
  • Four-wire option available according to order


LP44 – Load Cell Assembly

 The LP44 double-ended shear beam load cell, with its robust mounting accessory, is designed particularly for large silos and tanks and incorporates high anti-lift-off strength. It is also available with ATEX or IECEx certification and a high-temperature option. The mounting accessory’s mechanical characteristics have been designed and calculated using Eurocode 3 (EN 1993).

EN 1090 certification with CE marking is available on selected versions. Up to 75-tonne capacity jacking bolts are fitted to assist with installation and any routine maintenance. End-user industries include cement, food, minerals, chemicals, plastics, pharmaceuticals, paint, biomass, offshore, and utilities.

LP50 Compression Cell

The LP50 is a high-capacity, low-profile compression load cell that can be used in force measurement and general weighing applications. For use in almost any industry, typical applications include rolling mills, test rigs, and heavy-duty weighing.

  • Capacities 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, and 500 tonnes
  • IP65 sealed
  • Stainless steel element
  • Low profile
  • High-temperature option to 100°C (212°F)

Options available are:

  • Plug and socket cable connection (recommended for 500Te load cells due to their size and weight to facilitate the safe handling and installation of the load cell)
  • Custom build to customer’s specifications
  • Cable length up to 25 m (82 ft) maximum

LP72 Tension Load Cell

The LP72 stainless steel S-type tension load cell is ideal for “commercial” weighing due to its approval to OIML R60 3000 divisions (C3). Its fully welded and hermetically sealed construction ensures total environmental protection to IP68/IP69K, coupled with excellent long-term signal stability and performance. Additionally, it is supplied with a high-durability polyurethane cable and the option of rod end bearings, making the LP72 the ideal S-type load cell.

The LP72 load cell is available with optional ATEX certification for all gas and dust zones. The ATEX certification for dust zones 20, 21, and 22 does not require safety barriers, which saves substantial costs.

The optional high-temperature variant for continuous operation in environments up to 150°C (302°F) is also available.

For applications in aggressive environments where stress corrosion or acid attack is a potential problem, a special parylene coating can be specified as an option.
