SQB Shear Beam Load Cell
Shear beam cell specified for floor scales and low platform scales, IP67 and IP68 versions.
Product Overview
The SQB is specified for floor scales, blending scales and low platform scales, where the deck sits close to the ground and the cell has to live in whatever runs across the floor. It is offered in alloy steel or stainless steel across 0.25 t to 10 t, with IP67 protection up to 0.75 t and IP68 from 1 t upward, and it carries OIML approval in accuracy classes from C2 to C5.

| Protection | IP67 (0.25 to 0.75 t), IP68 (1 to 10 t) |
| Input resistance | 400 ±20 ohm |
| Output resistance | 352 ±3 ohm |
| Excitation | 10 to 12 V DC recommended, 15 V DC maximum |

| Safe / ultimate overload | 150 % / 180 % of full scale |
Category: Load Cells
Key Benefits
- IP68 protection from 1 t upward for wet floor level installations
- Accuracy classes from C2 to C5 to match the division count you have to certify
- Alloy steel or stainless steel construction on the same capacity range
- Cable length scaled with capacity, from 3 m up to 5 m
Problems It Solves

Materials And Construction
- Alloy steel
- Stainless steel
Customisation Options
- Alloy steel or stainless steel construction
- Accuracy class C2 to C5
- Cable diameter 5 mm or 6 mm depending on capacity and material
Use Guide
- Check the protection rating against capacity, since IP68 begins at 1 t on this family
- Specify cable length at order because it varies with capacity
- Keep the loading direction as marked and avoid side loading at floor level
Certification
- OIML approval
How It Compares
| H8C shear beam | The H8C adds NTEP approval and covers 0.5 t to 10 t; the SQB starts lower at 0.25 t and is specified around floor and blending scale duty with IP68 from 1 t. |
|---|---|
| UDA compression cell | The UDA is an aluminium compression cell for 50 kg to 800 kg platform and testing duty; the SQB is the heavier steel beam option. |

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.
How To Choose Load Cell Capacity And Accuracy Class
Capacity and accuracy class are the two numbers that decide whether a scale can be built and verified. Here is how to derive both before you commit to a design.
