Load Cell Washer

Description

Available in both Wired and Wireless configurations.

  • Wired – Comes with factory-calibrated terminals ensuring accurate signal transmission and noise immunity.

  • Wireless – Optional wireless module available for remote force monitoring (range up to 50 m, line of sight).

  • Compact & Portable – Washer-style design enables easy integration into bolted joints or confined force points.

  • Wired Interface – Allows input of parameters such as Sensor ID, Installation Point, Machine No., Load Type, Technician Name, and Timestamp.

  • Wireless Washer – Includes built-in rechargeable lithium battery and low-power wireless transmitter.

  • Wired Systems – Compatible with digital display units (4-digit/6-digit) for real-time force readout.

  • Wireless Systems – Real-time data accessible via mobile app or PC dashboard with live trends and alerts.

  • Data Logging – Memory storage of up to 25,000 force readings, exportable via USB in CSV/Excel format.

  • Threshold Alerts – Configurable high/low force alarms via buzzer or LED, enabling overload protection.

  • Supplied with stainless steel IP65-grade housing, suitable for industrial and outdoor environments.

  • Washer-style design fits seamlessly between bolted connections without the need for modification.

  • Operates on strain gauge-based full Wheatstone bridge circuit for high-precision force measurement.

FAQ's

Q: What is the maximum force it can measure?
A: Standard models support up to 5kN; higher capacities available on request.

Q: Can it measure both tensile and compressive force?
A: No, washer-type load cells are generally designed for compressive force only.

Q: Is it safe to use in vibrating or outdoor environments?
A: Yes, the sensor is IP65-rated and designed to withstand industrial conditions.

Q: What type of signal output does it provide?
A: It provides a millivolt (mV/V) output; wireless versions offer digital transmission.

Q: Can it be connected to data loggers or PLCs?
A: Yes, with appropriate signal conditioning or amplifiers.
