Flintec UB6

The Flintec UB6 is a versatile tension and compression load cell meticulously engineered for precise weighing in low-capacity applications where both compact size and robustness are critical. It is designed for use in confined spaces without sacrificing strength or accuracy, making it ideal for both industrial and commercial process weighing systems.

The UB6 is crafted from high-grade stainless steel (17-4 PH) and is fully hermetically sealed with laser welding and a glass-to-metal cable entry. With protection ratings of IP68 and IP69K, it is highly resistant to dust, water immersion (up to 2 meters), and high-pressure cleaning, ensuring durability and long operational life even in harsh environments.

Designed for both tension and compression loading, the UB6 provides reliable, bidirectional measurement capabilities. Its wide capacity range, from 75 kg to 510 kg, combined with high precision calibration in mV/V/Ω, makes it suitable for sensitive, trade-approved applications under both OIML C3 and NTEP standards.

The UB6 load cell is specifically built for applications demanding high accuracy, robust environmental protection, and space efficiency. Its stainless steel body, together with hermetic sealing techniques including a glass-to-metal header for the cable connection, ensures complete protection against moisture ingress.

Key features include:

• Wide capacity range from 0.7 kN to 5 kN (75 kg to 510 kg).

• Tension and compression loading capability.

• High input resistance (1,100 ± 50 Ω) for stable signal performance.

• Rated output of 2 ± 0.1% mV/V for consistent calibration.

• Minimal combined error and temperature compensation for reliable operation in varying environmental conditions.

• Compact size with standard and unified thread options (M12 or 1/2-20 UNF).

• Operating temperature range from -40°C to +80°C, with ATEX-certified models rated up to +60°C.

• Protection ratings IP68 and IP69K for complete waterproof and dustproof sealing.

• Approvals for hazardous area usage, meeting ATEX and FM requirements.

• OIML C3 and NTEP approvals for legal-for-trade applications.

The UB6 ensures high linearity, low hysteresis, and minimal creep error, making it especially well-suited for high-accuracy process weighing, suspended tank and hopper systems, and crane scales.
