The
Weigh Bar Principle of Operation
Weigh
Bar Brochure
The Weigh Bar has proven itself over the past 20 years to be one of the
world’s most robust weight transducers manufactured today with over 500,000
installations world-wide.
Inherent protection - The unique design of the Weigh Bar eliminates the need for
external mechanical protection or ball feet, extending the life of the scale and
foundations.
Sealed assembly - The Weigh Bar is well protected against harsh environments by
an exclusive 5-layer sealing process: Acrylic, Polysulfide, Primer, Polyurethane
and Metal Shield.
Low failure rate - The IP67 Weigh Bar design provides inherent strength and
overload protection, while also providing accuracy and high reliability. A
significant contributor for this is the positioning of the gauges on the outside
of the Weigh Bar. More robust than a shear beam load cell for a given output – a
shear beam load cell will reach its peak fatigue point much sooner than a Weigh
Bar.
100lbs to 1,000,000lbs - The Weigh Bar design makes it possible to produce
sensors for a wide variety of applications. We've made highly accurate Weigh
Bars with capacities of 100 lbs all the way up to massive Weigh Bars for the
petrochemical industry with 1,000,000 lbs of capacity
