LOADCELLS

SUPPLY, REPAIR & CALIBRATE LOADCELLS

Gauges North West Ltd offer in-house and on-site loadcell calibration and repairs traceable to National Standards.

We can repair and recalibrate all loadcells, both standard and bespoke designs as well as most OEM units

In addition we also supply a range of basic instrumentation that is compatible with an extensive range of loadcells.

For occasional force measurement users we operate a loadcell hire service or you can contact our sales department to discuss your requirements.

We offer wide range of standard and custom design load cells and have categorised our range to enable our customers to find their product of choice quickly.

However if there is a model you require that isnt listed please do not hesitate to contact us as we specialise in 'oddball' one-off designs and modifying exactly to your specifications.

 
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

GNW’s 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. It’s 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

GNW’s 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

GNW’s 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 calibraiton 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

GNW’s 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.
