Position: The bolt-on strain weighing sensors from Applied Measurements provide a cost-effective solution for many high capacity tank and silo high capacity weighing applications.
An weighing sensor having a digital signal processing unit , which includes at least one filter with low-pass characteristic.
The Boss series of bolt-on strain weighing sensors from Applied Measurements provide a very cost effective solution for many high capacity tank and silo weighing applications as well as finding application in overload protection systems on cranes, winches, lifts and presses.
The sensors are designed to be attached directly to steel structures and are capable of detecting tensile, compressive and bending stresses.
Utilizing the latest strain gauge technology, each weighing sensor is manufactured from specifically selected high grade alloy steel with thermal coefficients of expansion matched to structural steel.
Unlike some competitive units each weighing sensor is temperature cycled and compensated to minimize the effects of temperature variation.
For installation, each unit is supplied with a template to which the two threaded mounting blocks are attached using high tensile bolts.
The mounting blocks are welded in position and the bolt-on weighing sensor or transmitter then attached in place of the template.
The sensors are fully encapsulated to ensure complete protection from all but the harshest of environments.
Full support in using these weighing sensors or transmitter sis available through our engineering department.

The shockproof digital weighing sensor is based on a capacitive measurement principle where a non-contacting ceramic sensor is mounted inside the load cell body. As the weighing sensor contains no moving parts and the sensor is not in contact with the load cell body, the load cell tolerates shocks, torsion, and very high overloads and sideloads. Therefore, the mechanical installation of the load cell can be done without expensive and complicated mounting kits and overload protection devices.
The electrical installation of the digital weighing sensor is pure plug-and-play as the signal from the non-contacting sensor is directly converted, compensated and calibrated by a microprocessor to a digital load cell output in grams, kilograms, or Newton. Measurements and status codes are transmitted as RS485 data on a single wire coaxial cable (RG-58) which may be up to 100 meters long.
The technology and mechanical design of the Eilersen weighing sensors is covered worldwide by a number of patents.
