Multipurpose beam load cells can be chosen to meet the precision requirements of users, and global approvals such as OIML, NTEP, ATEX, and FM are included as standard, allowing the load cells to be used globally in legal-for-trade and Ex weighing systems.
The sturdy, IP68/IP69k-rated designs and a full set of approvals allow for versatility and safety in a wide range of applications. The available capacities range from 5 kg to 4.4 tons, so users can weigh anything from small vessels to big tanks.

Base plates and load introductions are among the several accessories for load cells that are available to deal with shock and vibration.
The Foot Kit (FKT) can be utilized for convenience in floor scale applications with MTB, 0745A, or SLB515 load cells:
- Replaceable rubber pad
- Slight shock/vibration damping function
- Rocker-pin load introduction for high accuracy
- Copes with deck deflection
- Height adjustable
The Expansion and Vibration Kit (EVK) is suitable for top-mounting applications with 0745A and SLB515 load cells. It is a low-cost option with no restraints or safety features. It features a modest profile, allowing for easy integration into the existing weighing system.
