Silo Weighing System Load Cell Mounting Kit
The multi-spoke design distributes the load evenly across multiple shear beam sensors, cancelling out any off-center loading effects. This makes spoke load cells highly accurate even when the load is not perfectly centered. Their low profile and high capacity make them ideal for large scale weighing of tanks, silos, hoppers and other heavy equipment and structures.
- Pancake or low profile design allows easy installation under tanks, vessels, hoppers etc;
- Available in stainless steel construction for harsh environments;
- Suitable for high capacity weighing up to 100 tons or more;
- Can be designed with special mechanical dimensions for custom applications;
- Analog output options also available to connect to separate weight indicators/transmitters;

What Are The Common Mistakes To Avoid When Installing A Spoke Load Cell Module ?
Uneven or Deflecting Mounting Surface
The mounting surface must be flat, rigid and able to support the maximum load without deflection
An uneven or flexible surface can introduce side loads and measurement errors
Improper Securing or Loose Mounting
The load cell must be securely bolted down using the proper mounting kit and torque specifications
Loose mounting can allow rocking or movement of the load cell, affecting measurements
Lack of Leveling and Shimming
The load cell must be perfectly level when installed, using shims or leveling feet if needed
An unlevel installation will result in an uneven distribution of the load across the spokes
Cable Routing and Connections
Load cell cables must be undamaged, properly shielded, and correctly connected
Improper cabling can introduce noise or signal interference
Inadequate Overload Protection
Mechanical stops or overload protection should be used to prevent excessive loads
Overloading can permanently damage the load cell spokes
Incomplete Calibration and Adjustment
The system must be properly calibrated with test weights after installation
Failure to calibrate will result in inaccurate weight readings
By avoiding these common pitfalls during installation, you can help ensure the spoke load cell module operates within its specified accuracy and measurement capabilities.

Our Equipment
what is the difference between a spoke load cell module and other types of load cells ?
Multi-Spoke Design
Spoke load cell modules are composed of 4 or more independent "spoke" shear beam load cell elements
This multi-spoke configuration provides excellent accuracy and precision by averaging measurements across all the spokes
It cancels out any effects from off-center or uneven loading across the module
High Capacity
Spoke load cell modules are designed for very high capacity weighing, often up to 100 tons or more
Their low profile "pancake" style allows installation under large tanks, vessels, hoppers etc.
Other load cell types like single-point, beam, canister etc. have lower capacities
Customizable Dimensions
Spoke load cell modules can be manufactured with custom mechanical dimensions for unique applications
This allows integration into confined spaces or special equipment constraints
Other key differences include:
Output Options: Spoke modules offer analog or digital outputs with integrated electronics
Low Height: Their low profile, rigid pancake design has a minimal height envelope
