Hydraulic Truck Scales with Guardian Load Cells

Hydraulic Truck Scales with Guardian Load Cells

Hydraulic Truck Scales with Guardian Load Cells are the smart choice for demanding applications like solid waste stations, quarries, grain elevators, and heavy construction. These impervious hydraulic concrete or steel deck truck scales feature the longest-lasting load cells available. Guardian hydraulic load cells are covered under a true lifetime warranty protecting your industrial truck scale against common issues like lightning strikes, voltage surges, water damage, and shock loading.

Description

Hydraulic Truck Scales with Guardian Load Cells operate on the same information transfer system as other truck scales, but the elicited signal is triggered by a different source. The respective signals are combined by stacking pressure actuators or combining pressure transducers. In the transducer method, hydraulic load cells utilize hydraulic fluid to transmit force applied to the scale weighbridge to pressure transducers, converting that force into an electrical signal. This process operates solely on hydraulic pressure, meaning no electrical components are used in the scale weighbridge.

Hydraulic truck scales perform extremely well in moist environments, and they don’t experience many issues regarding lightning damage. They do not have the same issues as strain gauges or internal circuitry, allowing for superior capability in the aforementioned environment. A system based on this type of technology is more expensive than analog cells; however, this increased cost can offset the issues analog systems experience regarding lightning and water, creating a lower cost of overall ownership over the lifespan of the hydraulic truck scale.
