Weighing Accessories – Components & Peripherals for Scales & Balances
Our weighing accessories range covers the essential components and peripherals needed to maintain, enhance, and extend the functionality of your scales, balances, and weighing systems. Whether you need to calibrate your equipment, connect it to a printer or PC, protect it from dust and moisture, or replace a worn component, our accessories ensure your weighing instruments continue to perform accurately and reliably over the long term.
Keeping weighing equipment properly maintained and correctly configured is as important as the initial purchase. A scale that hasn’t been calibrated recently, lacks the right connectivity cable, or is missing a protective cover for a harsh environment will underperform and may produce inaccurate results. Our accessories range is designed to close those gaps — sourced from leading manufacturers and compatible with a wide range of industrial, laboratory, and commercial weighing equipment.
Accessories Available
- Calibration weights — OIML-certified test weights from Class E1 to M1 for routine scale verification and calibration
- Interface cables and connectivity — RS-232, USB, and Ethernet cables for connecting scales to printers, PCs, and data systems
- Label and receipt printers — compatible ticket and label printers for weight documentation, dispatch labels, and traceability records
- Protective covers and enclosures — dust covers, splash guards, and protective cases for laboratory balances and bench scales
- Power supplies and batteries — replacement mains adaptors and rechargeable battery packs for portable and bench scales
- Replacement platforms and pans — stainless steel weighing pans and platform replacements for bench and laboratory balances
- Software and data logging — PC software for weight data capture, reporting, and integration with quality management systems

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which cable or accessory is compatible with my scale?
Compatibility depends on your scale’s make, model, and interface type (RS-232, USB, Ethernet, etc.). Check your scale’s manual or data sheet for the interface specification, then match it to the accessory listing. If you’re unsure, contact our team with your scale model and we’ll identify the correct accessory.
Do you stock calibration weights for all scale types?
Yes. Our calibration weights range from OIML Class E1 (ultra-high precision for analytical balances) through to Class M1 (industrial and commercial scales), covering denominations from 1 mg up to 20 kg and beyond. Individual weights and complete sets in protective cases are available — see our dedicated Calibration Weights collection for the full range.
Can I connect my scale to a label printer?
Yes, provided your scale has a compatible output interface (typically RS-232 or USB). We stock interface cables and compatible label printers designed for use with weighing equipment. Contact our team with your scale model and printer requirements and we’ll recommend the right combination.
Do protective covers affect weighing accuracy?
Draft shields and protective covers for laboratory balances are specifically designed not to interfere with weighing accuracy — in fact, draft shields improve accuracy by protecting the weighing pan from air currents that can cause unstable readings. Dust covers are used when the scale is not in use and should be removed before weighing.
What if I need a replacement part that isn’t listed?
Contact our technical team with your scale’s make, model, and the part you need. We can source a wide range of genuine and compatible replacement parts beyond what is listed in our online store, including weighing pans, load cells, display units, and keypad assemblies.
