Weighbridge – 4 Important Steps of Replacing Load Cells

Choose the Right Load Cell
Prior in replacing load cells for your weighbridge, choosing the right type of high accuracy load cell is critical for accurate weighing results in any application. Factors like size, capacity, type of material, and environmental conditions should all be considered when selecting a new weighbridge load cell. It is also important to select a model that matches the existing electrical connections on your weighbridge/ truck scale system so as not to require any additional wiring changes.

Preparing for Replacement
Before replacing load cells, it is important to make sure they have been properly calibrated and all safety measures have been adhered to, including turning off power sources such as hydraulic systems or switches if the equipment has them installed. Having a professional on-site during replacement can reduce the risk of making mistakes while working with complex machinery. This includes disconnecting all cables from the old load cells before uninstalling them and carefully positioning new ones so that they align correctly with existing mounting fixtures.

Installation
Once preparations have been made, replacing load cells is next begin with installation; connecting the new load cells’ electrical connections following their respective specifications if needed. Make sure there is no corrosion on pins or connectors before connecting wires back into place – having them dried off regularly will help prevent this from occurring over time. Finally, after testing performance, proceed to recalibrate the entire system and store readings for records.

Testing Performance
Any newly installed weighbridge/ truck scale system should be tested thoroughly for accuracy (Class 6) before putting into use by comparing its readings against a reliable source measuring device using known weights or calibration products designed specifically for this purpose; this helps ensure that each individual connection within the circuit has been functioning properly without any false outputs being delivered throughout its operational life cycle until next routine maintenance checkup which should follow shortly after successful commissioning tests take place effectively and efficiently.

Don’t assume that changing the load cell with different performance and accuracy is the same like how it does in our vehicles, any tyres would just work fine in replacement. To seek the right solution, you should engage the professional weighbridge and load cells service provider, the company who is recognised not just in brand, but in their sustainable offer in products and services. It will not be cost effective to hire a service team located 500km away from your weigh bridge, which will cost you long idling time in repair.
