The Alpha Beam is a low capacity differential bending beam transducer suitable for medical, industrial, and testing applications. It offers high accuracy and performance, with excellent sealing against moisture and solvents. It meets OIML and IP67 standards for accuracy and moisture protection. The transducer measures force bidirectionally and produces an output signal proportional to the applied force. It is approved for use in hazardous locations and complies with European and OIML standards.

Alpha Load Beam BLH Load Beam Transducer FEATURES Capacity range: 5.5,11, 22, 34, 56, and 112 lb (25, 50, 100, 150, 250, 500 N) Precision accuracy and repeatability Environmentally sealed for washdown applications Fast, easy 2 bolt installation FM, CSA and OIML approved OIML certification for 11 to 112 pound capacities The Alpha Beam is a low capacity differential bending beam transducer designed for use in a wide range of medical, industrial, and testing applications. It's unique features are a combination of superb accuracy and performance in a package that is very well sealed against moisture and solvents. Alpha Beams meet both OIML requirements for accuracy and IP67 requirements for moisture protection. Rated force capacities range from approximately 5.5 to 112 pounds (25 to 500 Newtons). Within capacity range, Alpha Beams measure force bidirectionally, producing an output mV/V signal directly proportional to the force applied. The heart of the patented Alpha Beam is the BLH developed SR-4® foil strain gage. Strain Gages are electrically connected to form a balanced Wheatstone Bridge. Compensation resistors maintain the accuracy of the bridge over a wide range of temperatures. The gaged element within the beam metal bellows is environmentally sealed against all adverse conditions, including water immersion. Bench & portable scales Low capacity batching Medical weighing systems Pull/tear strength testing Alpha Load Beams are approved by Factory Mutual Research (FM) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for use in Class l, ll, and lIl, Division 1 and 2 hazardous locations. They also are OIML tested and approved in accordance with paragraph 8.1 of the European Standard on Metrological aspects of nonautomatic weighing instrument EN 45501:1992 and by application of the OIML International Recommendation R 60 (Edition 1991).
