Tension/compression load cell APD25

strain gaugedigitalanalog

The APD25 strain gauge load cells are installed for weight measurements under the supports of tanks, silos and hoppers. The APD25 strain gauge load cells are installed in order to measure traction and/or compression strengths at one end of actuators, tie rods, ropes, junctions, hooks as well as for weighing, when they are installed under tank feet, silos and hoppers. Compactness: The transducers of the APD25 series are small, allowing them to be used in applications with little space available. High overload permissible: The innovative shear measurement principle makes it possible to accept high overloads (with static compression forces aligned along the axis of measurement and with tightening of the threads until the mechanical stop). Environmental Protection: These transducers have been designed to be used in industrial environments where there is dust, dirt and moisture. Internal Electronics: These load cells can integrate an optional analog or digital conditioning electronics (for measuring ranges from 25 up until 100 tons) that allows: Reducing Costs: External electronics calibration costs are avoided since the built-in one is already completed with the characterization of the transducer, while also avoiding the wiring and protection costs of the amplifier if operated independently of the transducer.
