Overview

The 50210 TA/65059 Mini-Tank Weighing Assembly provides an easy-to-use, cost-
effective, and reliable method for low capacity weighing applications. They are ideal for 
installations where checking requirements are low. The flexible neoprene mounting 
system allows for bolting the units directly to the mounting surface without extra plates or 
load buttons. The neoprene pad also allows the vessel to expand/contract without 
restriction and provides a degree of shock protection.

Applications

• Small tanks and hoppers
• Conveyor/In-motion weighing
• Small platform scales where minor shock loading may be a problem

Kit Includes

• One JB4SS NEMA Type 4X stainless steel signal trim junction box
• Three or four RL50210 cantilever beam load cells (50-250 lb models)
• Three or four RL30000 single-ended beam load cells (500 lb models)
• Three or four RL35023 alloy steel load cells (1000-2500 lb models)
• Three or four neoprene isolation/compression mounts
• 25 ft of our hostile environment EL147HE SURVIVOR® load cell cable

Standard Features

• Zinc plated, mild steel modules
• Lower weighing ranges from 50-500 lb (22.7-226.8 kg) per module
• Environmentally protected load cells
• Neoprene isolation/compression mounts allow for minor misalignment, thermal 

expansion and shock absorption

• Overload stop for 500 lb (226.8 kg) modules provides durability

Options

• Stainless steel modules available in 50, 100, 150, 250 and 500 lb (22.7, 45.4, 68.0, 

113.4, 226.8 kg) capacity with RL50210SS, RL50210SS and RL39123 stainless steel 
load cells or Vishay Sensortronics 65023 SS load cells

• 65059 kits available with Vishay Sensortronics 60040 load cells, capacities: 50-250 lb 

(22.7-113.4 kg) or 65023 load cells, capacity: 500 lb (226.8 kg)

Capacities of 1,000-2,500 can be fitted with RL35083 or RL35082 stainless steel, welded 
seal, IP67 load cell. This is a non part-numbered special. Consult factory for quote 
information.
