The most important part of the odometer is the load cell. The load cell is a sensor that converts the mechanical weight into an electrical signal. There are different types of load cells, such as compressor type, cup type, ball type, and shear beam type.

　　The load cell installed by the load cell manufacturer is pre-calibrated. What people usually do is calibrate the weighbridge with lower load capacity on site. For example, the capacity of each load cell is 20 tons. In the field, it is impossible to maintain a weight of 20 tons at a specific point or a specific corner of the load cell. So what people do is get a load of 5 tons and keep it in the corner for calibration.

　　We provide high-tech double-headed shear beam load cells with a capacity of 20 tons each.

　　Our load cells can withstand the vertical and horizontal loads encountered when trucks are parked and moved. However, most other suppliers offer compression-type load cells that cannot withstand horizontal loads.

　　Looking at the basic design of the compression/column load cell itself, the layman can also conclude that even slight movement in the platform (this is inevitable because of the acceleration and braking of the vehicle/truck/trailer on the platform) will cause serious wear and tear on the load cell, resulting in weighing errors, unstable readings, and weight changes in different corners of the platform.

　　Our load cells are resistant to lightning, rain, and dust.

　　There are only repairable ball-type load cells in case there are any problems in the next few years. We will also provide spare load cells for free during repairs so that your platform scale can work normally even when the load cells are sent for repair.
