The extreme compactness of the shear beam load cell SIWAREX WL230 SB-S SA by Siemens make them particularly useful in crowded conditions, since the height, even after being mounted with the belonging SIWAREX mounting unit, measures a mere 76 mm (3") for 10 tonnes and only 111 mm (4,4") for 5 tonnes. What makes them optimum for use in large sized platform scales, sacking systems, bin scales or batching systems is its capablity to connect with the resolution of 15.000.
