Effect of wind force on weighing accuracy
The effects of wind are very important in selecting the correct load cell sensor capacity and determining the correct installation for use in outdoor applications. In the analysis, it must be assumed that wind can (and does) blow from any horizontal direction. This diagram shows the effect of win...Read more -
Description of IP protection level of load cells
•Prevent personnel from coming into contact with hazardous parts inside the enclosure. •Protect the equipment inside the enclosure from the ingress of solid foreign objects. •Protects the equipment within the enclosure from harmful effects due to the ingress of water. A...Read more -
Load Cell Troubleshooting Steps – Integrity of the Bridge
Test : Integrity of the bridge Verify bridge integrity by measuring input and output resistance and bridge balance. Disconnect the load cell from the junction box or measuring device. Input and output resistances are measured with an ohmmeter on each pair of input and output leads. Compare the in...Read more -
Structural composition of weighing equipment
Weighing equipment usually refers to the weighing equipment for large objects used in industry or trade. It refers to the supporting use of modern electronic technologies such as program control, group control, teleprinting records, and screen display, which will make the weighing equipment funct...Read more -
Technical Comparison of Load Cells
Comparison of Strain Gauge Load Cell and Digital Capacitive Sensor Technology Both capacitive and strain gauge load cells rely on elastic elements that deform in response to the load to be measured. The material of the elastic element is usually aluminum for low cost load cells and stainle...Read more -
Silo Weighing System
Many of our customers use silos to store feed and food. Taking the factory as an example, the silo has a diameter of 4 meters, a height of 23 meters, and a volume of 200 cubic meters. Six of the silos are equipped with weighing systems. Silo Weighing System The silo weig...Read more -
What should I look for when selecting a load cell for a harsh application?
size In many harsh applications, the load cell sensor can be overloaded (caused by overfilling of the container), slight shocks to the load cell (e.g. discharging the entire load at one time from the outlet gate opening), excess weight on one side of the container (e.g. Motors mounted on one side...Read more -
What should I look for when selecting a load cell for a harsh application?
cable The cables from the load cell to the weighing system controller are also available in different materials to handle harsh operating conditions. Most load cells use cables with a polyurethane sheath to protect the cable from dust and moisture. high temperature components The load cells are t...Read more -
What should I look for when selecting a load cell for a harsh application?
What harsh environments must your load cells withstand? This article explains how to select a load cell that will perform reliably in harsh environments and harsh operating conditions. Load cells are critical components in any weighing system, they sense the weight of material in a weighing hopp...Read more -
How do I know which load cell I need?
There are as many types of load cells as there are applications that use them. When you are ordering a load cell, one of the first questions you will likely be asked is: “What weighing equipment is your load cell used on?” The first question will help decide which follow-up questions ...Read more -
Correct installation and welding of load cells
Load cells are the most important components in a weighing system. While they are often heavy, appearing to be a solid piece of metal, and are precisely constructed to weigh tens of thousands of pounds, load cells are actually very sensitive devices. If overloaded, its accuracy and structu...Read more -
What factors are the accuracy of the load cell related to?
In industrial production, load cells are widely used to measure the weight of objects. However, the accuracy of a load cell is an important factor in evaluating its performance. Accuracy refers to the difference between the sensor output value and the value to be measured, and is based on factors...Read more
