Load cell bases are supports designed to ensure the secure and precise installation of load cells in industrial weighing systems. These bases provide the necessary stability to achieve accurate measurements by minimizing errors caused by misalignment, vibrations, or unwanted movements.
Function and relevance in weighing systems
In any industrial weighing application, the correct installation of load cells is fundamental to ensure the accuracy and durability of the system. Mounting bases act as a firm support point, enabling uniform load distribution, preventing irregular stresses on the load cell, and extending its service life.
How they improve measurement accuracy and safety
Load cell bases enhance weighing accuracy by ensuring that the force is applied evenly to the sensor. In addition, they offer greater structural safety by preventing displacement and protecting the load cells from impacts or external vibrations.
Types of load cell bases available at Transdutec
We offer a complete range of load cell mounting bases, tailored to different industrial needs and working environments.
Fixed bases for static weighing
Fixed bases are designed for static weighing applications, such as platform scales and inventory control systems. They ensure stable and precise installation.
Main Features:
- Robust and corrosion-resistant structure
- Easy and secure installation
- Compatibility with different types of load cells
Swivel bases for dynamic environments
Swivel bases are ideal for applications where the load may move, such as in hoppers and silos. They allow a controlled degree of movement without affecting measurement accuracy.
Advantages:
- Vibration absorption
- Automatic adjustment of load cell positioning
- Greater protection against impacts
Industrial applications of load cell bases
Mounting bases are essential in a wide range of industrial applications, ensuring stability and accuracy in weighing systems.
Weighing in hoppers and silos
Swivel bases allow secure installation of load cells in hoppers and silos, guaranteeing weighing accuracy even when there is movement caused by the load.
Industrial weighing platforms
Fixed bases are ideal for weighing platforms, ensuring that the load cell remains in the correct position and preventing errors caused by misalignment.
Dosing systems and production control
In automated production environments, adjustable bases enable the installation of load cells with the precision required for accurate dosing and rigorous quality control.
