Geotechnical load cells TOR-IDRA/T
Download PDF datasheet
The toroidal hydraulic load cell TOR-IDRA/T is made by two steel plates of a circular shape, with a central hole to allow the passage of the strands, turned and welded together in such a way as to create a cavity filled with a special oil and connected to a electric transducer which transforms every variation of pressure applyed to the cell in a variation of the electric signal with standard 4-20 mA output.

General guidelines for installing and mounting load cells:
- Respect the direction in which forces are applied to the load cells
- Do not exceed the temperature limits shown on the rating plate
- Do not remove the labels from the cells
- Protect cables properly with sheaths or cable ducts
- Connect each cell to earth with a suitable cable, bridging the plates of the mounting accessories if necessary
- Do not weld on the mechanical structure once the cells are in place
- Avoid or minimise mechanical constraints between the fixed structure and the weighed structure, to prevent weighing errors and zero return problems
- When vibrations or dynamic loads are present, protect the cells with anti-vibration mounts
- Protect the cells from dust build-up with suitable covers
