What applications is the CG-50 best used for?

The CG-50 is ideal for bench scales, platform scales, packaging equipment, and industrial weighing systems requiring capacities between 50 kg and 1000 kg.

Is the CG-50 suitable for outdoor or washdown environments?

Yes. The CG-50 is environmentally sealed and IP67 rated, making it suitable for dusty, wet, or washdown conditions when properly installed.

Can the CG-50 load cell replace other single-point load cell models?

In many cases, yes. The CG-50 footprint and performance allow it to serve as a compatible replacement for similar single-point cells, but mechanical and wiring dimensions should always be verified. Take a look at our Interchangeable Products list for this load cell.

What platform size can the CG-50 support?

Depending on the capacity, the CG-50 supports platform sizes up to 600 × 600 mm for 50–500 kg models and 800 × 800 mm for 635–1000 kg models.

Does the CG-50 have NTEP certification?

Yes for the most part, the 635kg model and 1000kg model are not NTEP Approved, all the capacities 500kg and below are NTEP approved. CG-50 models are NTEP certified as Class III, 5,000-division, single-cell, making them suitable for legal-for-trade applications. 635kg and 1000kg Models ARE NOT NTEP APPROVED.

The CG-50 Single-Point Load Cell is a high-performance aluminum load cell designed for medium-capacity weighing applications where reliability and legal-for-trade performance matter. With available capacities from 50 kg up to 1000 kg, the CG-50 is an excellent choice for bench scales, platform scales, packaging systems, and other industrial weighing equipment that require stable, accurate measurements over time.

Constructed from robust aluminum and environmentally sealed to IP67, the CG-50 provides dependable protection against dust and moisture, making it suitable for demanding production and warehouse environments. A threaded mounting hole and compact single-point design simplify mechanical installation and allow the cell to support a platform up to its rated size without needing multiple cells.

Featuring a 2 mV/V rated output, 10 ft load cell cable, and safe overload protection up to 150% of capacity, the CG-50 integrates easily with common indicators and controllers while providing a safety margin against accidental overload. NTEP approvals (for most capacities) support use in legal-for-trade Class III applications, giving you confidence in both regulatory compliance and long-term accuracy.

Ideal for OEMs, scale manufacturers, and service organizations, the CG-50 also offers strong interchangeability with other popular “brick” style single-point load cells, making it a practical replacement option in existing systems that require a high-quality, IP67-rated, single-cell solution.
