Product Description: HBM B35-4K-20760 SHAER BEAM LOAD CELL

This is the core product identifier.

• HBM: The manufacturer. HBM (Hottinger, Brüel & Kjær) is a globally renowned German company specializing in precision measurement technology, particularly sensors and instrumentation.

• B35: This is the product series or model. HBM’s B35 series is a classic, industry-standard line of “Single-Ended Shear Beam” load cells. They are known for robustness, reliability, and are commonly used in platform scales, tank weighing, and hopper scales.

• 4K: Indicates the capacity. “K” stands for kilograms. Therefore, this is a 4,000 kg (or 4 tonne) load cell. In imperial units, this is approximately 8,800 lbs.

• 20760: This is HBM’s specific article number or order code for this exact model (B35, 4K capacity, with specific options like cable length, connector, etc.).

Additional Markings:

• SHAER BEAM: This is almost certainly a typo or shorthand on the label and should read SHEAR BEAM. This confirms the type:

  • Shear Beam: A bending beam load cell where the measurement is based on the shear stress in the beam, not pure bending. They are excellent for compression applications and are relatively insensitive to the point of load application, making them ideal for platform scales.

• SN. 31192410: The Serial Number. This unique identifier is used for traceability, calibration certificates, and quality control.

• This is less standard. It could be a:

  • Factory or production code.

  • Customer-specific marking.

  • Abbreviation for a special order option (e.g., a specific seal, coating, or cable exit). Without HBM’s internal records, its precise meaning is uncertain.

Key Features & Typical Specifications of an HBM B35-4K:

• Type: Single-ended shear beam (one end fixed with mounting holes, the other end free for load application).

• Capacity: 4,000 kg / 8,800 lbs.

• Rated Output (Sensitivity): Typically 2 mV/V ± 0.1% (e.g., at 10V excitation, it outputs 20 mV at full load).

• Accuracy Class: C3 (or similar, a common high standard for industrial weighing).

• Material: Typically high-grade alloy steel, nickel-plated for corrosion protection.

• Mounting: Uses chevron-shaped mounting brackets to accommodate minor horizontal movements and prevent side force errors.

• Applications: Platform scales, silo and tank weighing, conveyor belt scales, large industrial hoppers.
