Pillar Compression Load Cells
Scotload’s pillar compression load cells are highly adaptable with robust construction making them suitable for use in hostile environments.
Pillar compression load cells manufactured from high tensile stainless steel, each load cell is designed with a domed loading top cap to greatly reduce the effect of offset loads.
The pillar compression load cells cable is fitted with an integral connector to allow for on-site mating and removes the need for handling large lengths of cable whilst positioning the load cells.
We provide an in-house calibration service up to 1700 tonnes, traceable to national standards, as well as a customised design service to suit specialised requests. We also maintain a range of stock available to buy or hire and ready for immediate dispatch.
