Product catalog summary
Configuration and Features
The U3SB-A Nickel Plated Steel S-Type Load Cells are designed for both single and multiple load cell applications. They offer a capacity range from 50 to 20,000 pounds (22.7 to 9,000 kg) and are constructed from nickel-plated alloy steel. These load cells come with a 20-foot cable for flexible mounting and are sealed to IP67 standards, making them suitable for tension and compression measurements. They are NTEP certified and FM approved.

Applications
The load cells are ideal for bin and hopper weighing systems, mechanical scale conversions, tension force measurement, OEM scale construction, truck scale conversions, and level and inventory measurement.

Description
The U3SB-A load cells are compact, making them suitable for installations where space is limited. They provide excellent environmental protection for indoor factory installations due to their superior nickel plating. Available in sixteen capacities, each load cell includes a 20-foot, four-conductor cable for maximum flexibility.

Outline Dimensions
The document provides detailed dimensions for various capacities ranging from 50 to 20,000 pounds, specifying thread sizes and dimensions A through E.

Wiring
The wiring configuration includes red for + excitation, black for - excitation, green for + output, and white for - output.
