Column and Rocker Column Load Cells: Uncompromising Precision for Heavy Loads and Truck Scales

For weighing extreme loads, such as those found in vehicle truck scales, railway scales, or massive silo systems, maximum robustness and lasting reliability are essential. Our column and rocker column load cells were developed precisely for these monumental tasks. They combine enormous capacities with legal-for-trade precision and withstand even the most adverse environmental conditions in industrial outdoor applications.

Especially for large constructions like truck scales, the self-centering design of the rocker column load cells plays to its full strength: it automatically compensates for thermal expansion of the scale and slight lateral forces, thus consistently guaranteeing accurate, reproducible measurement results.

Your advantages with our column and rocker column load cells:

• Massive rated capacities: Designed for extreme measuring ranges from a few tons to several hundred tons – perfect for the heaviest industrial plants.

• Legal-for-trade highest precision: Certified according to international standards (OIML up to C5) for highly accurate results in legal-for-trade applications.

• Maximum durability: Made from robust stainless steel or nickel-plated special steel. Equipped with the highest protection classes (IP68 and IP69K), the sensors are absolutely dust and waterproof and can withstand even aggressive environments or high-pressure cleaning.

• Self-centering design: Reliably compensates for mechanical tolerances and thermally induced expansions of the scale construction.

• Ready for critical zones: Optionally available with ATEX, IECEx, and EACEx approvals for safe operation in hazardous areas.

• Well-thought-out accessories: Comprehensive range of matching mounting kits with anti-rotation and anti-lift protection for safe and standard-compliant installation.

Typical application areas: These heavy-duty sensors are the ideal choice for truck and vehicle scales, rail weighbridges, large tank and silo weighing, as well as ladle scales in metallurgy and heavy-duty platform scales.
