Industrial Load Cells and Accessories – Precise Measurement in Demanding Environments
This document contains the detailed technical description of high-capacity load cells and accessory mounting solutions designed for industrial applications. The product family is ideally suited for truck scales (vehicle scales), silos, tanks, and other industrial weighing tasks requiring high accuracy.
Product Family Overview
The offering includes high-capacity compression load cells, double shear-based cells, and hermetically sealed compression cells made of stainless steel, guaranteeing reliability even in the most aggressive environments. As an accessory, a special lift-off prevention mounting kit is also available.
1. G8R High Capacity Compression Load Cell
The G8R type load cell has been specifically developed for truck scales (vehicle scales) where high load capacity is required.
Key Features and Application Areas:
-
Type: High Capacity Compression Load Cell.
-
Application: Ideal for truck scales (vehicle scales).
-
Installation: It is also suitable for installation beneath the structure's beam in certain vehicle scale models.
-
Protection: To increase reliability and lifespan, it can be supplied with a shielded cable that provides protection against electromagnetic interference and physical damage.
-
Capacity: Optimized for high-capacity measurements. (The exact capacity range can be found in the specification table, if available.)
2. GTH Double Shear Load Cell
The GTH model is a robust load cell featuring a double shear design, which maintains performance even under extremely demanding, heavy-duty conditions.
Key Features and Advantages:
-
Type: Double Shear Load Cell.
-
Capacity range: Between 5 tons (t) and 50 tons (t).
-
Protection: IP68 protection class, which ensures complete protection against the ingress of dust and water, making it ideal for use in wet or dusty environments.
-
Metrological Approval: Approved for commercial (legal metrology) weighing purposes, which guarantees accuracy and legal compliance.
-
Application: High-capacity industrial scales where reliability and environmental resistance are crucial.
3. GTD Compression Load Cell for Silos and Tanks
The GTD load cell has been specifically optimized for weighing static, high-capacity containers, such as silos and tanks.
Key Features and Advantages:
-
Type: Compression Load Cell.
-
Capacity range: Between 2.5 tons (t) and 30 tons (t).
-
Optimized Application: Ideally suited for weighing silos, tanks, and similarly structured storage vessels.
-
Stability: The compression load cell design ensures excellent stability when measuring vertical loads.
4. G5i Stainless Steel Shear Beam Load Cell
The G5i model meets the highest hygiene and durability requirements, thanks to its full stainless steel construction and laser-welded, hermetic seal.
Key Features and Advantages:
-
Type: Shear Load Cell.
-
Material Usage: Fully stainless steel structure.
-
Closing: Hermetically sealed, laser-welded design.
-
Environmental Resistance: Specifically designed to remain in perfect condition in contaminated environments or when the measuring device is cleaned with high-pressure water. Exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion and moisture.
-
Application: Food industry, chemical industry, or any area where frequent wet cleaning or high humidity is present.
Mounting Accessories
Mounting Kit 12
This accessory is specifically designed for tank and silo scales (hopper type instruments) to ensure proper mounting of the load cell and prevent unwanted lateral movement (lift-off).
Features:
-
Function: Prevents the weighing cell from „lifting up” or lateral displacement (anti-tip tank bases).
-
Adaptability and Reliability: The kit has been designed with adaptability and long-term reliability in mind.
-
Design: Available in zinc-plated steel or stainless steel versions, according to environmental requirements.
