Rope Tension Load Cell

Rope tension loadcells are very simple to install. However they can be installed only where there is a fixed non moving rope. The installation scheme is shown below.
This arrangement would be able to measure the load on one rope of the total number of ropes of the crane. Therefore in principle the accuracy of this type of system would be the least. However, the advantages of this system are as follows.
• Simple operation
• Reliable – No periodic maintenance
• Easy to install
• Rugged-designed for industrial environment.
The output from the loadcell corresponding to the load applied is processed and displayed digitally in the indicator housed in crane control cabin. The output from the loadcells corresponding to the load applied is processed and displayed digitally in the indicator housed in crane control cabin. A separate parallel 50100200300 mm display is also provided at the girder of the crane to enable viewing of the weight from the floor. The system has a potential free contact that would be activated if the crane is over loaded. It is possible to transmit the data from the weighing electronics to a base station receiver through Wi-Fi or ZigBee protocol.
