New type of loading assembly for process weighing
A new type of loading assembly for process weighing applications, LeverMount, can be safely raised and lowered under load with no need for separate support pillars or external jacks
A complication of onboard vehicle weighing is that acceleration, braking and cornering forces are present between the truck chassis and the body of the vehicle.
The VC6600 load cell is designed to maintain weighing accuracy despite these extraneous forces.
Its double multi-web shear construction is highly resistant to the twisting and side forces involved.
In addition, truck chassis are designed to flex during movement.
The VC6600 can be used in a mount that allows the cell to float and remain unaffected.
The VC6600 features a fully welded, stainless-steel construction, sealed to IP68 against the harsh environment of onboard weighing.
It has a capacity of 8000kg and has been trade approved for commercial weighing to OIML R60 2000, with a classification of C2.
