Our externally mounted load cell provides a breakthrough solution for real-time load and fill-level monitoring in tanks, silos, containers and structural systems, without the need for lifting or placing traditional load cells under the supports.

The system operates by measuring the structural deformation caused by the applied load. Since all materials deform under stress, our sensor accurately converts this mechanical strain into weight or load data. The sensor is externally mounted using a mechanical strap or clamp and does not come into contact with the material being measured.

Key features

• Non-invasive external installation: no structural changes or process interruptions required.

• Load measurement via structural strain, captured with high-sensitivity semiconductor strain gauges.

• Accuracy from 1% to 10% of full scale with one sensor; up to 0.1% with multi-sensor configurations.

• Fast installation: fixed using 2 screws, with no bulky flanges or supports required.

• Compatible with steel, fiberglass, FR-4, Kapton, and other industrial materials.

• Long-range wireless data acquisition or wired power and data.

• Digital data output supporting standard IoT protocols: UDP, MQTT, OPC UA, TCP/IP.
