MNM GX-1-SH-5K 5,000 lb Stainless NTEP Shear Beam Load Cell Guide

The MNM GX-1-SH-5K 5,000 lb stainless NTEP shear beam load cell is a single heavy-duty replacement/OEM sensor for floor scales, platforms, hoppers, tanks and process weighing systems. MNM currently lists the exact 5K model at $129, in stock, with stainless washdown/moisture-resistant positioning and published interchange families.

Published specifications

MNM publishes 3.00 ±0.015 mV/V rated output, ±0.02% FS nonlinearity, ±0.02% FS hysteresis, ±0.01% FS repeatability, ±0.02% FS creep over 30 minutes, ±1% FS zero balance, 385 ±5 Ω input resistance, 350 ±3 Ω output resistance, at least 5000 MΩ insulation resistance, 10 V AC/DC excitation, -10°C to 50°C compensated range, -20°C to 60°C operating range and 120% FS safe overload. The published wiring is red +excitation, black -excitation, green +signal and white -signal.

Interchange families and replacement planning

The listing names Artech SS30310, Celtron SQB SS, HBM B35, Revere 9123, Rice Lake RL35023S, Rice Lake RL39123, Sensortronics 65023SS and Coti Global CG-23SS families. A family cross-reference is only the first step. Confirm 5,000 lb capacity, dimensions, mounting holes/threads, loading height, cable exit, signal, resistance, wiring and environmental requirements before installation.

Installation considerations

A shear beam works correctly only when the load path and mount are correct. Inspect the mounting plate for flatness, prevent side load, avoid cable tension, and keep the platform or vessel mechanically free. Do not infer that the 5K listing includes the same foot/spacer package as another GX capacity unless MNM confirms it for the exact item being shipped.

Calibration after installation or replacement

The indicator or transmitter stores system calibration. After a cell change, verify wiring, empty-scale zero, corner or section balance, junction-box trim where applicable, known-load span, multiple test points, repeatability and return to zero. In high-capacity systems use properly rated, traceable reference loads or professional force/scale calibration methods rather than improvised loads.

Troubleshooting

Unstable weight can come from damaged cable, moisture in a junction box, inadequate excitation, mechanical vibration or a failing cell. One corner high or low should trigger a mechanical and corner-balance check. A scale that drifts after washdown should be inspected for cable gland, connector and junction-box moisture as well as the load cells themselves.

FAQ

Is this the four-cell 5K kit? No, this guide is for the single GX-1-SH-5K sensor. Can it replace an RL35023S or SQB SS? MNM lists those families, but exact 5K geometry/electrical data still must match. Is it NTEP? MNM's listing identifies the product as NTEP; commercial use still depends on the complete certified system. Does a stainless load cell make a scale waterproof? No—the junction box, indicator, connectors, cable entries and structure also need appropriate protection.
