There are so many reasons why KYOWA strain-gage load cells are
ideal as sensors for weighing systems.
KYOWA load cells offer outstanding and sustained performance over
long periods of usage, even under harsh operating conditions,
thanks
to their adoption of our independently developed, dedicated strain
gages of excellent accuracy, our superior production technologies
and calibration equipment of supreme precision, and our rich
experience in this field. We offer a full range of models to satisfy all
industrial needs, including: models for compression and tension
applications, washer type models for measuring rolling pressure, etc.
KYOWA load cells can be used in sensing applications ranging from
general force measurement in testing or research to measuring and
controlling weight (mass) in tanks, hoppers, mills, vehicles, etc.
All KYOWA load cells are built to provide high precision, stability and
airtight reliability as demanded for a broad array of industrial
requirements.
Major Advantages Include:
1. Outstanding Weighting Accuracy:
Straingage load cells perform measurement tasks by converting
weight, force, etc. to electrical output by use of a strain gage.
KYOWA load cells fea-ture strain gages of outstanding preci-sion
developed specifically for use in the company's load cells, built to
offer maximum resistance against the ef-fects of aging, ambient
temperature, etc. They were developed applying nearly half a
century
of experience in this field, and are manufactured by KYOWA's
superior production technol-ogies and outstandingly precise
cali-bration equipment. KYOWA strain-gage load cells are notable for
their compact size, light weight, extremely modest mechanical
displacement, simple structure, easy installation and maintenance
over long periods of usage.
2. Long-term stability even under harsh operating conditions
Nearly all KYOWA load cells feature an airtight structure containing
inert gas. A configuration of this kind enables the prevention of the
major causes of aging, including reduced insulation re-sistance and
changes in the compensation resistance of the strain gage, etc. As a
result, KYOWA load cells are able to maintain their initial high
accu-racy over a protracted time frame, even when used under
harsh
operation coditions. One important consideration when load cells are
used repeatedly is the approximate number of times such usage is
possible. KYOWA load cells offer outstanding service life: more than
10 million operations with the LCN-A and LCV models (under 100%
load).
3. Remote instruction and control
Because load cells convert load and force to electrical signals, they
can be instructed from, or their data can be recorded at, remote
locations. Traditionally, load cells have often been used in
conjunction with testing or re-search, but more recently, in tandem
with developments in peripheral technologies and trends toward
labor sav-ing and automation, they have come to be frequently used
in production line weighing systems.
