Ring load cells

Ring load cells of the highest quality made of stainless steel from octogon are symmetrical, very compact and are often used in tension-compression applications in tank scales, silo scales, machine scales, container scales, special scales as well as for force measurements in the testing machine and process industries.

How does a ring load cell work?

The force is often introduced via a load introduction button. The central force introduction ensures that the ring load cell is largely insensitive to eccentric loads. It is also characterized by high accuracy and linearity and is ideal for tension and compression applications. Ring load cells are ideal for long-term use in harsh environments and deliver precise and reproducible measurement results.

Description ring load cells

The centrally loaded ring load cell is one of the newer products in weighing technology. This load cell is symmetrical and very compact. The force is introduced via a load introduction button or an application-specific adapter part via a continuous internal thread in the center of the load cell. This central force introduction makes the load cell largely insensitive to eccentric loading. It is characterized by high accuracy and linearity. The load cell delivers extremely precise and reproducible measurement results even in long-term use in harsh industrial environments. The high-load load cell is made of high-quality stainless steel, it is laser-welded and meets the requirements of protection class IP68.

Assembly modules / load cells - installation aids

When mounting the load cell, it is important to ensure that no torsional forces act on the cell. When subjected to pressure, the load cell must be mounted on a flat surface so that the loaded center of the load cell can bend freely downwards.
