Q50 compression load cell

product description approvals

The Q50 compression load cell offer high capacity weighing in a low profile and ATEX hazardous area approval for
compact sensor. Designed for applications in the food and chemicals industry, zones 0, 1, 2, 20, 21 and 22
the Q50 offers easy of clean features such as smooth electro-polished surfaces
and no wells that can hold contamination. The Q50 is ideally suited to weighing FM hazardous area approval
applications in clean-in-place/sterilize-in-place environments. Completely
hermetically sealed by laser welding.
