DBB S Beam – Bi-directional Load Cell

The DBB series of loadcells are an S beam, bi-directional load cell suitable for tension and compression applications. Loadcells are available with a bi-directional range of 50Kgf up to 10,000Kgf with a standard 2mV/V output and accuracy of 0.03%. The smaller DBBE is an encapsulated cell sealed to IP67. Units can be supplied with suitable inline amplifiers to provide a calibrated 4-20mA output

DBB Series Load Cell

Load Cell Mounting Accessories

Description

The DBB series ‘S-beam load cell’ is designed for force measurement and weighing applications alike and can be used for tension and compression measurements. It’s ease of mounting makes it very attractive for use as a general purpose load cell.

There are two versions available within the standard range. The smaller DBBE is an encapsulated cell sealed to IP67 (covering ranges of 50kgf up to 1,000kgf), the DBBWAS covers ranges above 1000Kgf.

The optional load buttons and rod end bearings are designed to align forces through the principle axis of the load cell, reducing the effects of extraneous forces. Load Buttons are used for compressive forces and Rod End Bearings are used for tensile forces.
