Load Cell in Accuracy Class C3 Approved to OIML R60

What to look for when selecting a load cell

A Load cell must be chosen based on the actual application. Crane scales and similar weighing systems where a tensile force is measured need S-shaped load cells. Where the force is applied in a vertical direction, shear beams are a good option. The second key parameter to be taken into account when choosing will have a look for the nominal load. Singlepoint load cell with nominal weights of up to 2000 kg are normally used for low weights and high resolutions in the g or mg range. Compression load cells are the preferred solution for weights up to 150 t or more. 

Load cell applications

Load cells are widely used wherever tensile or compressive forces need to be measured or the deformation of solid components must be determined. They come in a number of designs and require additional equipment for the evaluation of the measured forces. For this purpose, BOSCHE offers a comprehensive range of electronic devices including transmitters. We therefore cater for all applications, from the simple display of a measured weight to the conversion and amplification of output signals for downstream processing in a PLC. We also have solutions that cater for relay switching with potential-free contacts. Our weighing solutions can be customised to suit your specific needs. Apart from standardised software packages, we provide tailor-made solutions for integration into existing systems.

We would be delighted to assist you in designing your system. Simply contact us by e-mail or fax.
