B8D Stainless Steel Shear Beam Load Cell
Stainless steel single shear beam cell for corrosive and washdown positions, OIML R60 approved.
Product Overview
The B8D is the stainless steel answer to the same mounting problem the H8C solves. Potted with adhesive inside a stainless body, it resists oil, water and corrosive gas and media, which makes it the cell to specify for truck scales, automobile testing facilities, hopper scales and any plant where the cleaning chemicals are harder on equipment than the load is.

How It Compares
| H8C alloy steel shear beam | Same structure and mounting, but the H8C is alloy steel for general plant while the B8D is stainless for corrosive and washdown duty. |
|---|---|
| BM14C stainless column cell | The BM14C is a column cell for very high compression loads up to 50 t; the B8D is the low profile beam option up to 10 t. |

The IP rating is the single most misread number in weighing. Here is what each level survives and how to pick one from your cleaning routine rather than a brochure.
Shear Beam S Type And Column Load Cells Compared
Four structures cover nearly every weighing build. Choosing the wrong one creates mounting problems that no amount of calibration will fix.
B8D Stainless Steel Shear Beam Load Cell Questions
Is stainless steel worth the extra cost?
In wet, salty or chemically aggressive areas, yes, because alloy steel cells corrode externally even when the seal holds. In a dry warehouse the H8C gives the same accuracy for less.
Can the B8D be used in a truck scale?
Yes, it is listed for electronic truck scales, automobile testing facilities and hopper scales. For very heavy decks, column cells such as the BM14C or HM14C are the usual choice.
What accuracy classes are available?
C2 and C3 with OIML R60 C3 approval, plus A5M and B10M columns in the specification table.
