We have a complete product line, including one of the most well-known products, weighing transducer. Although weighing transducers are the most critical part of an electronic weighing system, they are also the most vulnerable to damage and will malfunction from time to time. We describe the symptoms that may indicate a failure of the weighing transducer that should be paid attention to, and provide a method to troubleshoot the failure of the weighing transducer.
Common causes of bending beam load cell failure include:
Broken cable
Loose wire fittings
Overloading the scale capacity—causes shock and deformation of the load cell
Lightning strike or power surge
Chemical substances or moisture enter
Mishandled
Symptoms of load cell failure may include:
Zero drift
Cannot calibrate and reset the scale
Unreliable reading
Unregistered weights
After eliminating the common causes of the failure of the bending beam load cell, resistance measurement is usually used to troubleshoot the failure of the load cell. Although this will reveal some information, it should be performed with one of the tests listed below to obtain a complete summary of the problem and perform economical load cell repair.
Tests to troubleshoot the bending beam load cell include:
Millivolt returns
Resistance reading
Leak test
Delta weighing/signal test
Tap test
Unknown color code
Unknown capacity
bending beam load cell is also our product, welcome to consult and purchase.
