Truck Scale Load cell
Also known as weighbridges, truck scales are robust and can endure rugged industrial environments. Even though surface-mounted weighbridges are widely in use, pit-mounted truck scales still enjoy greater popularity for its portability and overall convenience.
As a common fixture in the logistics industry, truck scales are highly sought after for their ability to weigh heavy vehicles swiftly and effectively. Also known as weighbridges, truck scales are robust and can endure rugged industrial environments. Even though surface-mounted weighbridges are widely in use, pit-mounted truck scales still enjoy greater popularity for its portability and overall convenience.
When you buy weighbridges from a top brand like us, you can enjoy several features ranging from heavy-duty structure and load cells to customizable platforms and premium indicator. Amid all these features, the truck scale load cell is of paramount importance for being an indispensable part of the modern weighing systems. Based on transducer technology, load cells ensure the effectiveness and accuracy of all weighing scales, including weighbridges.
A load cell is a transducer that converts physical force into an electric signal. Truck scales require compression-mounted load cells which get compressed upon the application of a mechanical force or the load. Thereafter, the load cell sends an analog output signal to the controller which is responsible for converting the signal into the digital measurement result. Hidden within the intricate working of the device, the load cell is imperative in maintaining the accuracy of truck scales.
Types of Load Cells Used in Truck Scales
Cannister Load Cells
One of the oldest types of load cell, canister load cells are vertically shaped compression devices that can weigh loads between 100 and 1,000,000 pounds. To make them airtight, these load cells come with either hermetic sealing or welding to preserve the gauges. At HiWEIGH, OIML approved canister load cells are integrated with weighbridges to enhance their efficiency. Suitable for high-strength weighing operations, the truck scale load cell enjoys the highest degree of protection with IP68.
Double-ended Shear Beam
Boasting of a high range weighing capacity, double ended shear beams are compression load cells and ideal for heavy load weighing. As both the ends are meticulously secured, the weight has to be applied in the middle of these types of load cells. It is popular for being low maintenance and a cost-effective solution to heavy weighing operations. HiWEIGH has a range of load cells which also includes M9 Hm9b load cells, an ideal fit for truck scales or weighbridges.
