Lcm systems is a specialist provider of standard and bespoke load cells load pins load shackles load links and associated instrumentation with over 35 years experience in supplying innovative load measurement solutions to many different industries world wide.
Pcm load cell.
Cm compression load cell capacities 100kg 5000kg.
The first thing that i d check is the wiring.
Select models of the fw load cell range are available to hire to accommodate short term requirements.
We also provide a complete line of signal.
Whatever the application and however demanding the environment we can provide a.
Established in 1983 pcm offer over 30 years experience in the design and manufacture of load cells and supply of instrumentation.
A load cell works by converting mechanical force into digital values that the user can read and record.
This is how you maximise your accuracy in the system.
There are hydraulic load cells pneumatic load cells and strain gauge load cells.
Our in house design team build bespoke customer load cells.
We configure strain gauge installations to customer requirements in house on site static dynamic.
For this guide i have decided to split the fault finding into the areas load cell signal conditioner and cabling.
This compression load cell range tends to be readily available from pcm stock.
And lastly though there are many other less common load cell set ups there is a strain gauge load cell which is a mechanical element of which the force is being sensed by the deformation of a or several strain gauge s on the element.
In figure 1 below we can see a diagram of a load cell system.
Strain gauge load sensors are the most commonly used among the three.
Be aware of how the force and re acting force is to be applied to the load cell.
We also offer in house load cell repair load cell calibration and load cell hire service.
Misaligned forces can damage certain designs of load cells.
Optional hardened or spherical washers are also available.
The design of this load cell can be modified to better suit your requirement if desired.
The inner working of a load cell differs based on the load cell that you choose.
I ll start with the load cell check correct wiring connections and colour coding.
