Where it is used
A compression load cell suits weighbridges, silos and heavy tanks. It connects through a junction box to an analogue weighing indicator. Browse all load cells.
Fitting and calibration
Match the type, mounting, capacity, signal and accuracy class to the cell you are replacing. After a load cell change the scale must be recalibrated, and a trade scale re-verified and stamped. Our technicians fit load cells and recalibrate on site through our calibration and repair services. Request a quote.
Frequently asked questions
It is, if the type, mounting, capacity, signal (analogue) and accuracy class match. Send us the label details or a photo of your current cell and we will confirm.
Yes. The scale must be recalibrated, and a scale used for trade must be re-verified and stamped.
On a multi-cell scale you need a junction box and an analogue indicator. See our junction boxes and weighing indicators.
Yes. Our technicians fit load cells and recalibrate scales and weighbridges across Kenya.
