About Brecknell scales

Brecknell traces back to Charles W. Brecknell and Co, founded in Birmingham, England in 1913 and bought by W&T Avery in 1926. The line was sold as Salter Brecknell after the 2003 merger that formed Avery Weigh-Tronix, and today Brecknell is a brand of Avery Weigh-Tronix, part of Illinois Tool Works (ITW).

Brecknell parts and indicators

We stock genuine Brecknell replacement parts to keep existing scales working:

• Indicators. The SBI-505 digital weight indicator and the SBI-240 indicator, an NTEP replacement for the SBI-505.
• Cables. The original replacement cable for the SBI-140 and PS3000.
• Feet, batteries and printer kits. Including the PS-2000 / MS140-300 replacement scale foot.

How to find the right Brecknell part

Start with the model number

The model and serial number are on the label under or behind the scale or indicator. Older scales may carry the Salter Brecknell name, and their part numbers still apply.

Match the indicator and cable

On floor, bench and crane systems, the indicator model tells you which cable and adapter fit. Check the indicator label before you order.

Ask us to confirm

Send us the model and serial number and we will confirm the right part before you order.

Who uses Brecknell scales

• E-commerce sellers and shipping rooms: weigh parcels on PS-USB and LPS shipping scales linked to shipping software.

Brecknell calibration and service

For any Brecknell scale, calibration before shipping is available on request (paid service tiers), done in our Cypress, TX shop. Pricing is set by the scale’s maximum capacity:

A scale whose capacity is exactly at a tier limit uses the lower tier. Calibration usually takes 1–3 business days after we receive the scale, and our mail-in scale calibration service covers Brecknell scales bought anywhere.

Our TDA-Registered Technicians calibrate and repair scales on-site across the Houston area and surrounding suburbs, with Dallas, Austin and San Antonio on request. We fix Brecknell indicators, load cells, cables and platforms. On-site service is $295 plus $2 per mile round trip, charged once per visit, with calibration priced per scale on top.
