| AXIAL LOADCELL |

|
Our range of Axial style Load cells designed for Tension / Compression and Bi-directional applications.
Typical uses are in tensile load weighing applications¸ fatigue testing¸ component and structural test rigs and general purpose laboratory force measurement tests.
This series is supplied with a standard IP67 rating¸ constructed from stainless steel and available in various load ranges. |
| SINGLE ENDED BEAM TYPE |
This series of load cells were primarily
engineered for use and integration within industrial and laboratory scales, they
are equally suited for use in a wide range of force measurement applications.
The
design of this series of load cells accompanied by the volume manufacturing techniques
make it an ideal solution for applications where low forces are to be measured
with a tight budget.
Environmental sealing gives
the series added protection when in use in damp or wet conditions whilst overload
stops are easily employed to give added mechanical protection. |

|
| DOUBLE ENDED |
Double ended shear beam
load cell designed for high capacity silo weighing applications.
The
high accuracy load cell when combined with suitable mounting arrangements will
provide a simple accurate and reliable weighing system.
Full
environmental sealing assures long term reliability. |
S-BEAM LOADCELLS |
| This range of products is ideally suited for many other OEM applications¸ offering a highly cost effective solution for a wide variety of applications. |
 |
The
S-Beam load cell series is designed for measuring both tensile and compressive forces. Its ease of mounting makes it very attractive for use as a general purpose
load cell.
It
is ideally suited for weighing applications in food, pharmaceutical, brewing or
any other plant that requires regular wash down for hygienic reasons.
There
are many options that are available to further enhance the usefulness of this
series of load cells and to assist engineers with on site installation. Including threaded bar, rod end bearing and eyebolts. ATEX and OIML options available. |
SHEARBEAM LOADCELLS |

|
Our range of heavy duty shear beam load cells are ideal for process weighing and for use in low profile industrial scales.
These economical load cells are easy to install and durable in the field.
With Industry standard hole sizes, interchangeable with many products. ATEX and OIML option available. |
TENSION & COMPRESSION LOADCELL |
GNWs range of tension
and compression load cells are used extensively across a wide range of research and industrial applications.
Built to exacting standards they are suitable for use in exposed installations, with versions being available for full immersion in water.
They can be supplied as standard or modified to meet a particular application requirement, including domed top, integral carry handles, integral connectors, and internal analogue/digital signal amplifiers etc. |

|
We are always pleased to discuss any special requirements that can be accommodated.
Typical applications include
material test machines, component test rigs and general in-line force measurement. |
MINIATURE LOADCELL |

|
This range of low profile miniature
load cells is designed for the measurement of compressive forces
Equally
suited for both force measurement and weighing applications. Its compact size
means that it can be fitted in to the smallest of spaces and is often retrofitted.
Its small physical size had made it very attractive in many industrial process
measurement applications for monitoring or control purposes.
The loading diameter is slightly convex for accurate load distribution.
They are sealed for protection against most industrial environments. |
LOAD WASHER |
A
range of annular/force washer load cells that has been designed for the measurement
of compressive forces and they are used across a wide range of research and industrial
applications.
They
are often used in electro-mechanical test rigs and other critical bolted installations
for monitoring continuously or periodically the tension profile or bolts during
their use in the installation. They can also be used in cable tension systems
and are usually positioned at the cable anchor point.
Non-standard variations are available, these usually entail certain diameters, internal and external, height and load range. Please contact us with your specific requirements |

|
PANCAKE LOADCELLS |
 |
GNWs
low profile pancake type load cells are suitable for both weighing and force measurement
applications.
Ultraflat and constructed from
tool steel for robustness in even the most arduous
of environmental conditions, it is ideal for level-by-weight applications.
The non-intrusive principle means that issues such as the use of stirrers, foaming, evaporation, pressure surges and uneven levels of solid products become irrelevant, as the load cell measures mass as opposed to height. |
The load cell is used widely for vessel and silo weighing, platform/deck jacking systems, airframe test rigs, material testing machines and many other applications that have extraneous forces present or need high frequency response to applied load |
COLUMN TYPE TENSION & COMPRESSION LOADCELL |
GNWs
Column Type Compression & Tension series are heavy duty general purpose load cells suited
equally for force measurement and weighing applications.
Applications such as
silo weighing, pile force measurement, heavy duty jack levelling systems, press
calibration are some of the applications where this series is compatible
The simple column design
and sealed construction assures excellent resistant in the most arduous of conditions. |

|
STRAIN GAUGE BASED BOLT
ON STRAIN SENSING LOAD CELLS |

|
GNWs
series of Bolt-on-Strain sensors are designed to be attached directly to steel
structures. They are capable of detecting tensile, compressive and bending stresses
and converting them to a useable electrical signal.
Utilising
the latest strain gauge technology each sensor is manufactured from specifically
selected high grade alloy steel. To ensure complete protection from all
but the harshest of environments each sensor is fully encapsulated with a high
strength waterproof compound.
Typical
weighing applications include silo, hoppers, storage vessels, bins and tanks and
overload protection systems on cranes, winches, lifts and presses. |
