Start with our most-specified families
KIS series load cells
Our flagship shear beam load cell. The patented double-cantilever design minimizes the effects of vibration, side forces, twisting and thermal expansion for reliable process control. ATEX / IECEx / cFMus certifiable for explosive atmospheres; IP67 standard, IP68 available where required.
KDH-5 weigh module
A cost-effective, FM- and ATEX-approved weigh module with capacity up to 200 tons, ideal for heavy applications such as silos, containers and weighbridges. Supplied complete with the load cell, stainless-steel clamping block and mounting yoke for easy installation in your machine.
TankMount weigh module
A single-ended shear beam weigh module for capacities up to 5 tons. Its semi-floating design accommodates construction variances, making it ideal for retrofitting existing structures or turning a hopper into a scale. IP68 / IP69K sealing, OIML certified; ATEX and FM versions available on request.

Shear beam, weigh module and high-capacity families
Know what you're specifying
What is a load cell?
A transducer that converts force into an electrical signal, the primary sensing element in a weighing system, responsible for accurate measurement of weight or force.
What is a weigh module?
A more complete assembly built around a load cell, adding mounting hardware, casing and protection so it can be integrated directly into a machine, structure or vessel.
Which type do I need?
Common industrial types include shear beam, compression, tension, bending beam, single point, S-type and pin load cells, each suited to different capacities, environments and loading. Our KIS pin load cells with double-cantilever technology let one standard type cover many applications.
Load cell & weigh module FAQ
What is a load cell?
A load cell is a transducer that converts force into an electrical signal, the core component responsible for accurate weight or force measurement in a weighing system.
What is a weigh module?
A weigh module is a complete assembly that incorporates a load cell plus mounting hardware and protection, designed to be installed directly into machinery, structures or vessels.
What types of load cells does BLH Nobel offer?
Shear beam, compression, tension, bending beam, single point, S-type and pin load cells, covering applications from platform scales to silos, tanks and crane weighing.
Can a load cell or weigh module be customized?
Yes. We can rapidly customize any product, or design a fully bespoke load cell or complete weigh module to meet your exact requirements, in-house.
Are the products certified for hazardous areas?
Yes. KIS load cells can be ATEX / IECEx / cFMus certified for explosive atmospheres, and high-capacity and tank modules offer FM, ATEX and OIML options.
What ingress protection is available?
IP67 is standard across the range with IP68 available where required; the TankMount load beam meets IP68 and IP69K.
Not sure which load cell or weigh module fits?
Tell us your capacity, environment and accuracy needs and a weighing expert will specify the right product, or customize one for your application.
