Compression Load Cells / Rocker Column Load Cells

Thames Side offers compression load cell (also known as Rocker Column Load Cells) - available in analogue (analog) or digital format. These are ideal when high accuracy is required in truck scale (or weighbridge), wagon tippler, tank and silo weighing applications.

These analog or digital load cells have a special polyurethane cable which has high toughness and resistance to cuts, chemicals, UV radiation and rodent (rat) bites, etc.

The model T34 has been used extensively in truck scales all over the world, even in extremes of temperature, thanks to its stainless steel construction, fully welded and hermetically sealed to IP68 & IP69K, as well as its approvals to OIML C4 (4000 divisions) up to 60,000kg capacity.  ATEX, PESO hazardous area approval is an optional extra, with certification for use in gas zone 2 and dust zones 20, 21, 22 without safety barriers. Dedicated, purpose-designed mounting accessories for truck scale / weighbridge / wagon tippler/ silo and tank applications are available.

Our newest compression load cell model T35 (analog load cell) comes with stainless steel construction, fully welded and hermetically sealed to IP68 & IP69K, as well as it has approval to OIML C3 (3000 divisions).  A dedicated, purpose-designed LA35 mounting accessory for truck scale / weighbridge / wagon tippler applications is available.

Where digital load cell is required, we can offer the digital model T34D for use in weighbridges / truck scales or even silo, vessel or tank weighing applications. These digital options allow for faster setup and commissioning of the weighing system, with individual diagnostics on all load cells. Therefore the time to replace of a load cell and the associated downtime of the system is minimised.

All of our load cells manufactured since July 2014 are RoHS 2 compliant.

To create a complete weighing system, Thames Side offers a class leading range of mounting accessories, an extensive range of junction box options (including those with integral lightning protection) and high precision measuring electronics. All of this ensures optimum performance is achieved in all weighing applications.
