Beam Load cells for On-Board weighing systems


With overload and shock load protection of up to 1000% of rated full scale capacity,  these load cells don't require the fancy mounting hardware other technologies do.
 On-board weighing has always been interesting for trucking companies.  Load balancing, protection against overload, maximum loading to reduce trip cycles all make on-board weighing a processing dream.  Unfortunately, until now you had either low accuracy hydraulic transducers, that kind of gave you a weight, or strain gage sensors that were suseptible to damage from shock and loading abuse.  With capacitiance load cells both problems are resolved.  With over 1000+ installations throughout Europe, this is a proven, effective answer to weigh control on the fly.

The SD-series beam cell is an easy to install, hermetically sealed load cell ideal for heavy washdown installations.  The cell is available from 5-kg (10-lb size) to 1000-kg (2200-lb) capacities.  Update rate is high speed and so these would be ideal load cells for in-line conveyor check-weighers.


Again, simple installations make for easy installs in existing equipment

Simple and quick installations
 Capacitance load cells systems are less suseptible to shock and transient damage then strain-gage products are.  With overload protection up to 1000% of rated capacity, much less sophesticated mounting structures are necessary, saving you time, money and complexity.  Imagine how easy clean up is without flexures, stayrods, checkrods, or bumper bolts.  Occassionally, anti-lift devices are necessary, and can be provided as part of a package.  

New blog established for RELY ON WEIGHING SYSTEMS

When load cells are mounted this high up, reliabilty is critical!
Thanks for visiting the new blog for RELY-ON WEIGHING SYSTEMS. 

We hope to show you the latest products and services, establish a FAQ for the EILERSEN products, and in general give you better and faster information for use. 

Simply comment with your questions initially, and then we will establish the FAQ when we build up some queries.

Below find some documents, photos and information on the capacitance  load cell technology.

Thanks for looking.
