Retrofit sensor for high capacity
weighing
The Boss series of bolt-on strain sensors from Applied Measurements provide a cost-effective solution for many high capacity tank and silo weighing applications.
The Boss series of bolt-on strain sensors from Applied Measurements provide a very cost effective solution for many high capacity tank and silo weighing applications as well as finding application in overload protection systems on cranes, winches, lifts and presses The sensors are designed to be attached directly to steel structures and are capable of detecting tensile, compressive and bending stresses

With its low deflection and high natural frequency, the DDEN is particularly well suited to cable tension monitoring, marine and offshore applications, mooring lines and material testing.
Utilizing the latest strain gauge technology, each sensor is manufactured from specifically selected high grade alloy steel with thermal coefficients of expansion matched to structural steel.
Unlike some competitive units each sensor is temperature cycled and compensated to minimize the effects of temperature variation.
For installation, each unit is supplied with a template to which the two threaded mounting blocks are attached using high tensile bolts.
The mounting blocks are welded in position and the bolt-on sensor then attached in place of the template.
The sensors are fully encapsulated to ensure complete protection from all but the harshest of environments.
Full support in using these sensors is available through our engineering department. Request a free brochure from Applied Measurements ...
