The Schenck Process VBB C3 is a precision, all-stainless shear beam load cell engineered for platform scales, dosing scales, and container weighing systems where legal-for-trade accuracy and long-term reliability are required. Designed as part of the SENSiQ product family, the VBB is used with the matching VEB elastomer bearing for a complete, self-centering mounting solution.
The VBB C3 is well-suited for:

| VBB (Type) | Thread Depth A (mm) Mounting side |
Thread Depth B (mm) Load side |
Body Length (mm) | Body Ø (mm) | Limit Load (150% Emax) | Breaking Load (300% Emax) | Measuring Path (mm) |
