RST Vibrating Wire Load Cell
Vibrating Wire Load cells are available in both solid and annular styles to monitor compressive loads. Load elements are manufactured from high tensile, heat-treated, stress-relieved steel, with precision bearing surfaces. Machined overall, high tensile matching load platens are recommended to provide a smooth parallel bearing surface and spread the load.
RST Strain Gauge Load Cell
Strain Gauge Load Cells incorporate from 8 to 16 high-output electrical resistance strain gauges in a full bridge configuration that is bonded to a high-strength steel or stainless steel spool. This arrangement compensates for both temperature effects and off-centre loading. Strain Gauge Load Cells are available in virtually any size, in both annular and solid styles. Gauge waterproofing utilizes the latest application techniques and protective materials. The rugged design includes a heavy-duty protective cover, sealed construction, and low deflection under load.
