Description

SENSiQ® Shear Beam Load Cell VBB / VEB 5 … 500 kg

Application
VBB-type load cells convert proportionally the mechanical input variable force into the electrical variable voltage.
When used in conjunction with the corresponding VEB elastomer bearings, they are ideal for use in platform scales, dosing scales, and container scales. The compact
design facilitates planning into any given construction.
The robustness of the load cells and bearings ensures reliable operation even in harsh environmental conditions.

Construction
The VBB load cells are entirely made of stainless steel and hermetically sealed through laser welding. They are connected electrically by a high-quality, 6-wire screened
PVC cable.
The six-wire circuitry makes the measuring signal insensitive to differences in lengths of the connection cables.

Function
▪ High calibration accuracy which provides ideal conditions for the parallel arrangement of load cells
▪ High reproducibility of the measuring signals
▪ Damping of dynamic lateral loads as a result of the elastomer mount
▪ Self-centering after transverse loading
▪ Extremely small measured value influence as a result of lateral forces

Load cells marked as intrinsically safe (Ex “i”) are operated in an intrinsically safe manner regardless of the zone.

CAUTION! The verification of intrinsically safe circuit must be verified. New barriers are provided in particular for new systems. Verifications of intrinsic safety are available for all load cells and barriers.
