Load cell applications
Start from what you are weighing, not from a part number. Each page covers what actually goes wrong in that installation, which models our engineers start from, and the questions we get asked most.
Tank, silo and hopper
Vessel deflection, agitator side load and uneven leg loading — where most measurement error originates.
Checkweighing and sorting
Settling time against filtering, conveyor vibration and product impact on fast lines.
Crane and hoist
Dynamic loading, alignment and the difference between overload protection and load monitoring.
Filling and dosing
Gram-level accuracy in a chemical washdown regime — 316L and IP69K are the baseline.
Force and press testing
Peak capture, shock overload and fatigue life over millions of cycles.
Platform and floor scale
Off-centre load compensation, corner trim and impact from pallet trucks.

Send us the load, the environment and the signal your PLC needs. We will shortlist three models and tell you if your application has a trap in it.
