FASB Single Point Load Cell | Medium Cap

Product Description

FASB single point load cell overview

The FASB is an aluminum single point load cell designed for accurate weight measurement in platform scales, packaging systems, and industrial batching applications. As a single point cell, it is engineered so that loads applied anywhere across the platform surface produce an accurate, consistent reading — making it the ideal choice for off-center loading applications where a standard bending beam or shear beam cell would produce errors. The FASB mounts via M6 threaded holes and ships with a 10 m cable. It is available in two capacity variants: the FASB CE covers 45 kg and 100 kg, and is a direct drop-in replacement for the Rice Lake RL1042, Tedea 1042, HBM SP4, RTI 642, and Scaime AG; the FASB C4 covers the 200 kg capacity. Both variants share identical electrical specifications and the same M6 mounting pattern, making the FASB a flexible choice across a wide range of single-platform weighing applications.

Typical applications

The FASB is commonly specified for platform and bench scale applications where the single point design allows accurate measurement regardless of where the load is placed. The CE variant suits lighter commercial and industrial applications; the C4 variant handles heavier platform loads up to 350 kg.

Platform and bench scales

The FASB CE is well suited for bench and platform scale applications in the 45 to 100 kg range, including industrial bench weighing, warehouse receiving scales, and commercial platform scales. The FASB C4 extends coverage to 200 kg for heavier-duty platform installations where a single-cell design is preferred.

Packaging and batching systems

Suitable for packaging line scales and batching systems where a single-cell platform design simplifies installation. The FASB's capacity range covers common batching and filling weights in food, chemical, and industrial packaging applications, with the CE and C4 variants covering light through heavy batching loads respectively.

Check weighing and quality control

The FASB's accurate single point output ensures consistent, position-independent readings on production line check weighing scales. Its capacity range covers a wide variety of packaged goods, containers, and unit loads commonly checked in food, beverage, and industrial manufacturing environments.

Parcel and shipping scales

The FASB CE 100 kg model suits parcel and shipping scales in courier and logistics environments. The single point design ensures accurate readings regardless of where packages are placed on the platform, reducing operator error during high-volume parcel processing.

Warehouse and inventory weighing

The FASB C4's 200 kg stocked capacity suits warehouse platform scales used for weighing cartons, totes, and small pallet loads during receiving and inventory operations. Operators do not need to center loads on the platform for accurate results, reducing handling time in busy receiving environments.

OEM scale builds and replacements

The FASB CE's M6 mounting pattern matches the Rice Lake RL1042, Tedea 1042, HBM SP4, RTI 642, and Scaime AG, making it a direct substitute for OEM scale manufacturers or service technicians replacing existing cells. The FASB CE uses the same M6 pattern for the 45 kg and 100 kg capacities, and the FASB C4 covers 200 kg.

Technical notes

Installation and mounting

Both FASB variants mount via M6 threaded holes. The cell body must be mounted on a flat, rigid surface with the platform attached to the top face of the cell. For best accuracy, the mounting surface and platform must be flat and parallel — warped or uneven surfaces will compromise the single point correction and degrade off-center load performance. No summing junction box is required since a single FASB cell handles the full platform area.

System integration

The FASB operates at a rated excitation of 10V DC/AC (15V max) and produces a 2.0 mV/V analog output signal compatible with any standard weight indicator, PLC analog input, or load cell conditioner accepting a mV/V bridge input. Both variants ship with a 10 m cable and are temperature compensated between -10°C and +40°C, with a safe operating range of -10°C to +70°C.
