What are Wireless Load Cells?
Wireless load cells are used in many applications but the two most common are in hoisting and in vehicle scales. They eliminate the need for cumbersome cables, providing unparalleled flexibility and convenience in weighing operations.
How Does a Wireless Load Cell Work?
Wireless load cells offer insights into force and weight measurement across a wide range of applications. Here’s a closer look at their functionality:
- Wireless Transmission: Wireless load cells convert force or weight into electrical signals, seamlessly transmitting data wirelessly to designated collection systems.
- Operation Overview: These load cells operate on the principle of strain gauge technology, ensuring precise and reliable measurement of weight.
- Measuring Weight: Wireless load cells provide exceptional accuracy in real-time weight measurements by sensing changes in strain.
What are Wireless Tension Links?
A wireless tension link, also known as a wireless dynamometer or wireless load cell , is a device used to measure tension or force in various applications without physical connections or wires.
How Does a Wireless Tension Link Work?
A wireless tension link provides real-time monitoring and measurement of tension loads. Here’s how a wireless tension link typically works:
- Load Sensing: The core component of a wireless tension link is a load sensing element, usually a strain gauge or load cell. This component deforms slightly when subjected to force or tension. This deformation is measured and converted into an electrical signal proportional to the applied force.
- Signal Processing: The electrical signal generated by the load-sensing element is then processed by onboard electronics. This processing may involve amplifying the signal, filtering out noise, and converting it into a digital format suitable for transmission.
- Wireless Transmission: Once the electrical signal is processed, it is transmitted wirelessly to a receiver unit. This transmission can occur through various wireless communication protocols. At Massload, we use license free 2.4 GHz wireless technology on the ISM band in different form factors such as enclosures and battery life depending on the best fit for each application.
- Wireless Receiver Unit: The wireless receiver unit comes in multiple options such as hand-held LCD readout displays, basestation connected to a personal computer running Massload MAWS scale software or other software, 4-20mA output direct to a PLC, or serial output connected to a display device. It receives the wirelessly transmitted signal from the tension link and decodes it back into a readable format, usually displaying the measured tension or force in real time.
- Power Source: Wireless tension links are powered either by batteries of various sizes selected for battery life requirements, or by rechargeable batteries maintained by solar power or induction charging, or by regular utility power. The choice of power source depends on factors like the intended usage duration and environmental considerations.
What are Wireless Load Shackles?
Wireless load shackles are devices used to measure tensile loads in different lifting applications. They utilize load pins to convert force into electrical signals to an integrated wireless transmitter.
How Does a Wireless Load Shackle Work?
A wireless load shackle offers real-time monitoring of tensile loads, enhancing safety and efficiency in lifting operations. Here’s a breakdown of how these innovative devices operate:
- Functionality: Wireless load shackles are engineered to accurately measure weight or load in various industrial settings. Unlike their traditional wired version, which requires physical connections for data transmission, wireless variants leverage advanced technology to transmit data wirelessly, enhancing flexibility and convenience.
- Operation Overview: At the core of a wireless load shackle lies sophisticated sensors capable of detecting changes in load with exceptional precision.
- Measuring Weight: When subjected to a load, the sensors within the wireless load shackle detect changes in force or tension.
This data is then converted into electrical signals, which are transmitted wirelessly to a receiver or data collection system.
