Compression - Ring

• Tank and Silo Weighing: These low-profile cells are ideal for mounting beneath tanks, vessels, and hoppers, enabling real-time weight monitoring of liquids, grains, or powders. This ensures accurate inventory control and prevents overfilling or underfilling of materials.
• Multi-load Cell Platforms: Their compact design allows for multiple ring load cells to be integrated into a single platform, ideal for large weighing systems used in industrial settings.
• Force Measurement in Tight Spaces: Compression ring cells can be strategically placed in confined spaces within machinery or production lines to measure compressive forces. This facilitates process control and ensures optimal performance.
• Medical Equipment: Their low-profile design makes them suitable for specialized medical equipment like patient chairs or weight-bearing therapy devices.Compression load cells have a wide range of applications, including:

• Weighing scales: From industrial scales to platform scales, compression load cells are the hidden muscle behind weight measurement.
• Force measurement in machines: They play a crucial role in testing the forces exerted by machines or monitoring the pressure applied in presses.
• Structural load monitoring: In bridges and buildings, compression load cells can be used to monitor the weight they bear.
• Material testing: They are essential for testing the compressive strength of materials.

 

Compression ring load cells offer several advantages:

• Compact Design: Their low-profile design makes them ideal for space-constrained applications.
• Versatility: They can handle force application from above or below, allowing for flexible mounting options.
• Durability: Many ring load cells are hermetically sealed for protection against harsh environments.

 

They’re essentially transducers, converting the force they experience into a proportional electrical signal. This signal can then be used to calculate weight, pressure, or other quantities.
