KERN & SOHN HCB 50K20 HCB Crane Scale, 50 kg Capacity, 0.02 kg Readability

KERN & SOHN HCB 50K20 Crane Scale — 50 kg Capacity, 0.02 kg Readability, no IP protection

The KERN & SOHN HCB 50K20 Crane Scale delivers 50 kg capacity with 0.02 kg readability, IPno protection rated, making it a dependable choice for overhead weighing in warehouses, workshops and industrial facilities. Built around a strain-gauge load cell and a compact HCB-series housing, the KERN & SOHN HCB 50K20 Crane Scale offers peak-hold capture, no IP protection environmental protection.

Key Features

• 50 kg capacity at 0.02 kg readability: A single strain-gauge load cell delivers repeatable readings within ±0.04 kg across the full weighing range.
• no IP protection load cell: The internal weighing element is sealed to no IP protection, protecting it from dust and moisture even in unprotected environments.
• Peak capture: The peak function records the highest load reached during a dynamic lift, useful for calculating shock loads and confirming safe working limits on lifting equipment.
• 300 h battery life: A 3×1.5 V AA alkaline battery pack runs the scale for approximately 300 h, reducing the interruption of charging stops during extended weighing sessions.
• Clear LCD display: A high-contrast LCD shows weight, tare and function status at a glance, enabling quick operator checks between lifts without stopping workflow.
• Multi-tare function: Store and subtract multiple container weights in sequence, allowing rapid net-weight checks across different sling, hook or container combinations without re-zeroing between each lift.
