Load Cells

Description:

A load cell is a transducer (A transducer is an electronic device that converts energy from one form to another. Common examples include thermometers, microphones, loudspeakers, position and pressure sensors, and antenna.) that is used to generate an electrical signal whose magnitude is directly proportional to the force being measured. The various types of load cells include pneumatic load cells, hydraulic load cells and strain gauge load cells. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Load cells
  • A load cell is a transducer (A transducer is an
    electronic device that converts energy from one
    form to another. Common examples include
    thermometers, microphones, loudspeakers, position
    and pressure sensors, and antenna.) that is used
    to generate an electrical signal whose magnitude
    is directly proportional to the force being
    measured. The various types of load cells include
    pneumatic load cells, hydraulic load cells and
    strain gauge load cells.
  • While measuring, weight acts on the load
    cell's metal spring component and causes elastic
    deformation.
  • This strain (positive or negative) is transformed
    into an electrical signal by a strain gauge
    (SG) installed on the spring element. The common
    type of load cell is a bending beam with a strain
    gauge. Often the (mandatory) basic components,
    i.e. spring element and strain gauge are
    emphasized with additional elements (housing,
    sealing elements, etc.) shielding the strain
    gauge elements.
  • Atmospheric pressure has influence on load cells
    and may cause fluctuations. To avoid this problem
    adequate design measures and load cell subjected
    to the same pressure on all sides.

Compression Type Load Cells
  • The compression load cells are recognized
    standard for high capacity column load cells
    - the crucial "fit-and-forget" precise weighing
    solution.
  • These compression load cells are preferably
    suited to high precision applications in truck
    and railway weighing machine, tank and silo
    weighing and in heavy duty industrial scales. 
  • Appreciating the range is the Q50 low profile
    compression load cell for use in process weighing
    purposes where ease of clean-up and sterilization
    is supreme. Combined with the 66-20 weigh module,
    this is the ideal option for applications in food
    and pharmaceutical manufacture sectors.
  • We have wide range of varieties from very small
    compression load cells which can able hold 1kg to
    a large 1000 tonne compression load cells. We
    have design with low profile, s-beams, button,
    pillar, annular and single point compression load
    cells. We can use it appropriately for general
    weighing purposes, silo and vessel weighing and
    for knowing centre of gravity, all compression
    load cells will be available with instrumentation
    packages including amplifiers with display. The
    benefits of compression load cells are simple
    installation, customizable to suit specific
    purposes, highly accurate, extremely rugged to
    provide long-term, trouble free operation and
    available in a range of IP ratings.

Binacular Type Loadcells
  • The binocular bending beam design load cell is
    also called as a single point load cell design.
    It has good moment immunity which yield in very
    small errors of change in the force application
    point. Because of this reason the design is
    popular for low force commercial weighing
    purposes and applications. This binocular ring
    loadcell has an IP 68 protection perfectly suited
    for industrial purposes. Depending upon the
    bending beam principle it has got excellent
    readability and accuracy.
  • The major application of this binocular load
    cells are plat form scales test purpose, hopper
    weighing system, dynamic weighing systems like
    weigh feeder, screw feeder, belt weigher and bag
    check weigher kind of batching system.

Different Types of Loadcells

Rope tension
  • Rope tension loadcells are simple to install. It
    is feasible to install them where there is a
    fixed or rigid non moving rope. We can install
    with following techniques
  • This arrangement have the capacity to measure the
    load on one rope of the total number of ropes of
    the crane. Thus, in principle the exactness of
    this type of method or framework would be the
    least. However, the benefits of this system are
    Simple operation, Easy to install, Reliability
    and Rugged design for industrial environment.
  • The output from the loadcell pertaining to the
    load applied is displayed digitally in the
    indicator housed in crane control cabin. The
    results from the loadcells pertaining to the load
    applied is calculated or manupulated and
    presented digitally in the indicator presented in
    crane control cabin. A view with different sizes
    is also provided at the girder of the crane to
    enable preview of the weight from the floor. The
    method has a potential free contact that would be
    initiated if the crane is heavily loaded. It is
    likely to transmit the data from the weighing
    electronics to a base station receiver through
    ZigBee or Wi-Fi protocol.

Crane High Capacity Load Cells
  • Crane High Capacity Load Cells
  • Crane High Capacity load cells are
    made for bearing loads, these cells are widely
    used for crane scales. These load cells can also
    customized by the specific purpose of
    application. Few feature of crane high capacity
    load cells are stain proof structure, produces
    low noise and withstand dynamic loads. Apart from
    the these we have further features such as low
    deflection creep, allows high permissible
    dynamic load, built in mechanical overload
    protection and high fatigue rated impact
    resistant.
  • Double Shear
  • The double ended shear beam
    features are similar to those of the single ended
    shear beam. It is most frequently used in truck
    scales and tank and hopper purposes. Instead of
    being protected at one end and load applied to
    the other corner as in the single ended shear
    beam, the double ended shear beam is protected at
    both ends and the load is subjected to the centre
    of the load cell.
