Overview
The OHAUS Defender 5000 Series Heavy-Duty Platform Scale DF52XW5000WVZH is an industrial-grade weighing solution engineered for precision, long-term structural integrity, and operational reliability in demanding production, logistics, and quality control environments. Built upon OHAUS’ proven Defender platform architecture, this scale employs electromagnetic force compensation (EMFC)–based load cell technology integrated with high-stability alloy steel or fully welded stainless steel sensors—depending on configuration—to deliver consistent repeatability and linearity across its full capacity range. Designed to meet the mechanical and metrological requirements of continuous-duty applications—including raw material intake, palletized goods verification, in-process assembly checks, and outbound shipment validation—the DF52XW5000WVZH complies with international weighing standards including OIML R60 (Class C3/C4), EN 45501, and ISO/IEC 17025–accredited calibration traceability protocols. Its low-profile 90 mm deck-to-floor height facilitates seamless integration into conveyor lines, loading docks, and automated material handling systems without requiring ramp modifications.
Key Features
- Robust dual-layer structural design featuring a 6 mm (or 8 mm for 5-ton configurations) chequered steel or stainless steel top deck, supported by a reinforced U-shaped frame fabricated from 4 mm cold-rolled steel or AISI 304 stainless steel
- Four high-capacity, OIML R60–certified alloy steel load cells (IP67 rated); stainless steel variants utilize hermetically sealed, laser-welded IP68 sensors for enhanced corrosion resistance
- IP65-rated all-stainless-steel junction box with protected terminal blocks and moisture-resistant cable glands
- Low-profile 90 mm deck clearance optimized for forklift and pallet jack compatibility
- Validated for 500,000 full-scale fatigue cycles under dynamic loading conditions per independent third-party testing
- Integrated overload protection and shock-absorbing mounting system to mitigate impact-induced measurement drift
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The DF52XW5000WVZH accommodates a wide range of industrial samples—from stacked pallets and IBC to bulk containers and machinery components—without compromising accuracy or stability. Its rigid construction ensures minimal deflection under off-center loading (≤ 0.02% of full scale at 1/4 corner load). The scale meets OIML R60 Class C3 (for general industrial use) or C4 (for high-precision process weighing), and conforms to CE, RoHS, and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU requirements. Optional configurations support compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11–aligned audit trail logging when paired with certified software modules, and are suitable for GLP/GMP-regulated environments where documented calibration history and user access control are mandated.
Software & Data Management
Standard RS232 interface enables direct connection to PCs, label printers, or PLCs for real-time weight capture and batch reporting. Optional communication modules include RS485 (for multi-drop networks), Ethernet (TCP/IP), Bluetooth 5.0, or wireless 2.4 GHz transceivers supporting up to 100 m line-of-sight transmission. Analog I/O options (4–20 mA / 0–10 VDC) and digital I/O (2-in / 4-out) allow integration with SCADA systems, programmable logic controllers, and external actuators such as gates, conveyors, or reject mechanisms. OHAUS ScaleConnect™ software (Windows-compatible) provides configurable data logging, statistical process control (SPC) charting, export to CSV/Excel, and customizable report templates compliant with ISO 9001 documentation workflows.
Applications
- Warehouse receiving and dispatch verification of palletized loads (up to 5,000 kg)
- In-line checkweighing in food, pharmaceutical, and automotive assembly lines
- Inventory management via piece-counting mode with automatic average piece weight (APW) calculation
- Dynamic weighing of moving loads using hold-and-display functionality
- Percentage weighing for formulation and blending operations (e.g., additive dosing relative to base mass)
- Quality assurance audits requiring traceable, timestamped weight records aligned with internal SOPs
FAQ
What is the maximum safe overload capacity of the DF52XW5000WVZH?
The scale is rated for 150% of full-scale capacity under static conditions and has passed 500,000 full-scale fatigue cycles per ISO 376 and OIML R60 Annex D test protocols.
Can this scale be calibrated in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements?
Yes—when used with an accredited calibration laboratory and documented procedures, the DF52XW5000WVZH supports traceable calibration to national standards (e.g., NIST, PTB, or CNAS) with uncertainty budgets meeting ISO/IEC 17025 Clause 6.5.
Is the stainless steel variant suitable for washdown environments?
The IP68 sensor housing and IP65-rated stainless steel enclosure meet USDA and EHEDG guidelines for non-product-contact zone sanitation; full washdown suitability requires optional chemical-resistant gasketing and conformal coating.
Does the scale support integration with MES or ERP systems?
Yes—via optional Ethernet or RS485 interfaces, the scale outputs ASCII or Modbus RTU/ASCII protocol data compatible with SAP, Oracle, and Rockwell FactoryTalk environments.
What mounting accessories are available for permanent installation?
OHAUS offers bolt-down anchor kits, adjustable leveling feet, mobile caster stands, and modular steel ramps (15° or 20° incline) certified for rated capacity and ASME B56.1 safety compliance.
