ACE - Model VW -Load Cells
VW load cells are attached with VW strain gage divided into 3-6 equal parts in the pipe hole of cylindrical shape cell that is processed mechanically with alloyed steel. It is used with principle that when load operates in cell, tension of VW gage is changes. When load applied on the cell, change in tension of the gages causes change in the frequency that is induced by a plucking coil. The average of the readings from the cells represents the mean load on the anchor, minimizing the effects of eccentric loading.
VW load cells warrant the reliability to be free of defects in materials and processing.
For the most reliable results, the bearing plates must be cast with its upper and lower face flat and perpendicular to the anchor and the anchor should be centralized. The bearing plates help to keep distributing load on the anchor without bending or yielding.
The VW load cell is equipped with a temperature device for compensating for temperature variations.
- Different models according to load and use
- Precision of cell process is under 0.05 (shaking, parallel straightness)
- Bearing plate with high confidence
- Not affected by cable length and resistance change, reproducibility are very excellence 3 Possible to automatic measurement
The VW load cells are designed to measure loads in tiebacks, anchors, struts, rock bolts and strands in structure.
- Long term measurement of loads in tiebacks, struts, rock bolts and anchors.
- Measurement of loads in supporting systems such as retaining walls, tiebacks and anchors.
