HBM C16AC3 Load Cell

Core Performance & Industrial Application

The HBM C16AC3 (C16A series) is a self-restoring rocker-column canister load cell for high-capacity static weighing.

It converts mechanical load into a standard mV/V strain-gauge signal for silo, tank, weighbridge and platform scale systems.

It is built entirely in stainless steel with laser-welded hermetic sealing for permanent outdoor and wet environments.

It supports six-wire connection for lead-resistance compensation and parallel installation with off-center load compensation.

Optional ATEX / IECEx explosion-proof version suits hazardous-area silo and process weighing.

It is widely used as spare replacement for industrial scales, truck weighbridges and tank level weighing.
