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.
