Shear Beam Load Cells | Industrial weighing systems, floor scales | Capacity: Industry Standard: 20,000 kg (ISO 376) ▲ Our Base: 500 kg (suitable for small floor scales) ▲ Our Advanced: 10,000 kg (ASTM D638, for heavy-duty applications) Material: Our Base: Alloy steel (ASTM A36) ▲ Our Advanced: Stainless steel (ASTM A240, corrosion-resistant) Output: Analog (0-20 mV/V, IEC 60770) | High capacity (up to 10t), durable construction, cost-effective for heavy loads | Larger size, requires calibration, not ideal for dynamic loads |
Strain Gauge Load Cells | Precision measurements, lab equipment | Accuracy: ±0.03% F.S. (NIST 823) Material: Aluminum alloy (ASTM B209) Output: Digital/analog | High precision (up to ±0.03% F.S.), compact design (ISO 2848) | Susceptible to temperature fluctuations (-10°C to 60°C), higher cost for high-precision models |
Hydraulic Load Cells | Harsh environments (e.g., chemical tanks) | Capacity: Up to 50,000 kg (ISO 376) Fluid resistance: Oil-filled (-20°C to 80°C, ASTM D435) | Immune to electrical interference, explosion-proof (ATEX Zone 1) | Bulky design, slow response (2-5 seconds), requires frequent maintenance |
Pneumatic Load Cells | Intrinsically safe zones (e.g., oil rigs) | Capacity: Up to 5,000 kg (ISO 376) Safety: Intrinsically safe (IECEx 60079-0) | No electrical components, safe for explosive atmospheres | Limited capacity, affected by air pressure changes, slow response (5+ seconds) |
Compression Load Cells | Weighbridges, material testing | Accuracy: ±0.05% F.S. (NIST 823) Material: Stainless steel (ASTM A240) | Durable for heavy axial loads, reliable in harsh conditions | Single-directional (compression only), may require custom mounting |
Tension Load Cells | Crane scales, suspension systems | Tensile strength: Up to 20,000 kg (ISO 376) Protection: IP68 (IEC 60529) | Waterproof, accurate for tension applications | Prone to shock loads, requires secure mounting to prevent slippage |
