High-Performance Shear Load Cells and Vibration Damping Mount Kits for Industrial Applications
This document presents the detailed technical description and application advantages of the G5i, G1i, and G2i type shear load cells, as well as their associated vibration damping (silent-block) mounting kits, aiming to maximize measurement accuracy and system reliability in harsh industrial environments.
I. Shear Load Cells
The load cells featured in this offering are excellently suited for weighing systems where environmental factors (dust, moisture, washdown under pressure) pose a significant challenge. The stainless steel construction and precise welding technology guarantee a long service life and reliable operation.
A. G5i Shear Load Cell
The G5i model offers the highest level of protection in the most aggressive environments.
Key Features and Advantages:
- Construction: Made entirely of stainless steel.
- Protection: Hermetically sealed design with sealing ensured by laser welding. This solution perfectly protects the cell from contaminants and moisture exposure during high-pressure water cleaning.
- Area of Application: Ideal for places where hygiene and durability are critical, such as in food processing or chemical processing units.
- Operating Principle: Shear Load Cell.
B. G1i Shear Load Cell
The G1i is a versatile, robust solution that can be excellently integrated into various industrial weighing instruments.
Key Features and Advantages:
- Construction: Stainless steel frame.
- Sealing: Sealed against air ingress by laser welding.
- Area of Application: Suitable for a wide range of applications, especially ideal for hybrid scales and general industrial environments where reliable performance is required.
- Operating Principle: Shear Load Cell.
C. G2i Shear Load Cell
The G2i model is as reliable as the G1i but has specific capacity limits, making it ideal for medium-load applications.
Key Features and Advantages:
- Construction: Stainless steel frame.
- Sealing: Sealed against air ingress by laser welding.
- Capacity: Optimized for measuring loads up to 300 kg.
- Area of Application: Excellently usable in hybrid scales and standard industrial environments.
- Operating Principle: Shear Load Cell.
II. Silent-Block Vibration Damping Mount Kit
The „silent-block” mounting kit is a crucial accessory that significantly increases the accuracy and safety of weighing systems, especially in the case of heavy-duty storage systems (silos, hoppers).
Application Philosophy: Adaptability, Reliability, Safety.
Operating Principle:
The kit enables the weighing of silos or hoppers while effectively absorbing mechanical vibrations generated in the system. This vibration damping ensures that the load cell measures only the actual weight, excluding errors arising from external movements, thereby increasing measurement accuracy and overall system safety.
Material Selection:
The mounting kit is available in two versions, according to environmental requirements:
- Zinc-plated Steel: For standard industrial applications.
- Stainless Steel: For corrosive or high-hygiene environments.

V. Application Conclusion
The G5i, G1i, and G2i series load cells represent the most modern technology in the field of weighing. The stainless steel construction and laser-welded seals guarantee long-term reliability even in the harshest industrial environments. The G5i offers outstanding protection during cleaning with a water jet.
A
silent-block mounting set its use is essential in any weighing system where the base of the scale (e.g., silo or hopper) is subjected to dynamic loads. The vibration damping provided by the set ensures that the measurement results are always accurate and reproducible, thereby maximizing process safety and productivity. The available galvanized and stainless steel options allow for optimal integration of the system into any existing infrastructure.
