| a) The load pins
A full range of standard (readily available) or custom-made load pins, for which single end or double (shear) axles are proposed.
SENSY'S axles are available in various possible configurations : provided with grease holes (for lubrication purposes), double Wheatstone bridge, (redundant execution) material and testing certification, ultrasonic testing, EEx ia IIC T6 execution (ATEX Gas+ Dust), integrated electronics 0 - 10 Volts, 4-20 mA, or RS 232 and RS 485, high temperature, radio-active environment resistance, ... (all these options are available on all the other load cells as well).
This solution offers the possibility to replace existing axles or shafts on a crane by a force measuring load pin. Therefore no mechanical change or reduction of lifting height has to be anticipated.
b) The load cells on cable
The most qualitative and economical solution is the load cell "on cable". This solution is really the most effective one. Installation time is reduced to a minimum. Only two screws are to be positioned. This represents the most economical solution based on a flexible and reliable technology.
c) The tension load cells
If a higher level of accuracy is required and the relative "loss" of lifting height is acceptable, these tension load cells are definitively the most optimum solution for you.
d) The other load cells
Wedge sockets, connections, integrated solution, annular compression load cells, there is almost no limit for solving your problem. |
