Z6 Bending Beam Load Cell: The Market Standard for Precision and Robustness in the Weighing Range from 5 kg to 1 t

The precise Z6 bending beam load cell, developed by HBM in 1972, has been continuously optimized for decades. Z6 is based on the strain gauge technology. It is available in nine different versions with maximum capacities that range from 5 kg to 1 t. The load cell with the characteristic bellows has become a worldwide standard, with millions of load cells having been sold. It is employed in platform and conveyor scales for dosing and level measurement as well as in weighing modules that, for instance, are used for tank weighing applications. The metal bellows protects the load cell against the ingress of moisture. The Z6 load cell has been optimized for connection in parallel. An IECEx-ATEX-compliant explosion-proof version is also available.

Accuracy class (OIML): up to C6
Nominal load: from 5 kg to 1 t
Degree of protection: IP 68

Precise

D1, C3, C4 and C6 accuracy classes according to OIML

Precise measurement results owing to certified, precise load cell technology

Robust

Electro-polished stainless-steel measuring body
IP68 (100 h, 1 m water column)
Hermetically sealed metal bellows
EMC tested per EN 45501:2015
Load cells and mounting aids made of stainless steel

Continuously reliable weighing

Flexible

Different maximum capacities are available: 5 kg, 10 kg, 20 kg, 30 kg, 50 kg, 100 kg, 200 kg, 500 kg, and 1 t
Metrological approvals: OIML, NTEP (USA), NMIA (Australia)
Explosion-proof versions are available (IECEx/ATEX, FM (USA))
Cable lengths range from 3 to 20 meters
Cable can be cut to length owing to the 6-wire configuration

Versatile use due to high variability and adaptability
