CenterPoint DB-SP Double-Ended Shear Beam
The DB-SP CenterPoint load cell kits are engineered for heavy-capacity vessel weighing applications including tanks, hoppers, silos, bins, and mixers. Utilizing proven DB series double-ended shear beam load cells with a center load design, these kits deliver superior accuracy and long-term reliability. The rugged bolt-in-place stands are available in stainless steel or powder-coated mild steel and are designed for both indoor and outdoor environments. With easy installation, low-profile construction, and simplified load cell replacement, DB-SP kits minimize downtime and maintenance costs while maximizing operational efficiency.
The DB-SP CenterPoint® Load Cell Kits provide a complete heavy-capacity vessel weighing solution for tanks, hoppers, silos, bins, mixers, and process control applications. Built around the proven DB Series double-ended shear beam load cells, these systems combine precision weighing performance with rugged construction and simplified maintenance, making them ideal for demanding industrial environments where reliability and uptime are critical.
Available in three-cell and four-cell configurations, DB-SP systems offer standard capacities ranging from 60,000 lb (27,000 kg) to 300,000 lb (136,000 kg). The center-load design promotes accurate and stable weight measurement, while environmentally sealed stainless steel load cells deliver dependable performance in indoor and outdoor applications exposed to moisture, corrosion, vibration, and harsh operating conditions. All load cells are NTEP, OIML, and VCAP certified to ensure compliance and weighing accuracy.
The low-profile mounting assemblies bolt directly to both the vessel and floor, creating a secure and stable weighing platform suitable for mixing, blending, batching, inventory control, and process monitoring applications. Available with either stainless steel or powder-coated mild steel stands, the assemblies feature articulating top plates that help accommodate vessel movement and uneven loading while maintaining weighing accuracy.
One of the key advantages of the DB-SP system is its exceptional serviceability. The stand design allows load cells to be replaced quickly and easily by applying a jack under the stand, removing the retaining pins, and exchanging the load cell. This simplified maintenance process helps minimize downtime and reduce service costs compared to many traditional vessel weighing systems.
Each DB-SP CenterPoint kit includes load cells, mounting stands, load cell cables, and a stainless steel NEMA 4 junction box, providing a complete weighing package ready for integration with a wide range of digital weight indicators. Combining high-capacity performance, easy installation, superior serviceability, and proven load cell technology, the DB-SP CenterPoint Load Cell Kits deliver a reliable weighing solution for demanding industrial vessel weighing applications.
