Nimbus® Precision Balances

Durable and reliable, Nimbus precision balances deliver a full breadth of readabilities ranging from 1mg to 0.1g. Innovative design enables a compact footprint, so it occupies minimal space but retains a high level of performance.

For science labs, the Nimbus balance offers 5 weighing applications including density determination, percentage weighing and dynamic weighing.

The Nimbus' single-piece construction offers greater balance stability, producing highly repeatable results. The weighing sensor in the Nimbus is crafted from a single block, and contains fewer parts than a traditional force motor balance. This optimized internal mechanism is fabricated using hardened materials, helping the Nimbus tolerate rigorous laboratory use.

Nimbus balances are suitable for use in universities, medical laboratories and vets.
