Load cell for severe environments
A high capacity load cell assembly from Thames Side-Maywood, for silo, tank and vessel weighing, is proven reliable and cost-effective in demanding environments where mechanical integrity is paramount
The T30 load cell is available in capacities of 100, 200, 300 and 600 tonnes.
It is an alloy steel, zinc plated, compression load cell which is supplied with a complete locked assembly ready to install.
The design of the load cell and assembly removes most of the traditional problems encountered by engineers installing high capacity weighing systems.
The special mounting plates readily accommodate steelwork misalignment and also movement due to thermal expansion and contraction.
In addition, the integral lift-off protection means that the assembly can be used in exposed installations that are subject to strong winds.
The T30LA is also highly resilient in harsh conditions.
The load cell is construction sealed to IP67 and the assembly has a toughened 'autophoretic' surface coating.
The coating is extremely hard and corrosion-resistant, yet ductile enough that it will not crack or flake under heavy loads or stresses.
