EVT PRO 2.0 ® - LOAD CELLS
Figure 7.1
– Example of Load Cell mounted to Load Cell Claw
Assembly
The EVT PRO 2.0
®
utilizes 4 different load cells, each with a specified span, in order to
provide the optimum span and data resolution. Each measures load (force) in Kilo-Newtons
(kN).
Each load cell is "married" to only one hydraulic cylinder. The 1 kN load cell only works with
cylinder 1, etc. Also, the total output force of the cylinder will never exceed the load limit of
the load cell. Thus you cannot "blow" a load cell by pumping alone. Each hydraulic lifting
cylinder and load cell are engraved accordingly for easy identification.
NOTE: The EVT PRO 2.0
®
comes standard with 4 load cells and 4 hydraulic lifting cylinders.
If a greater lifting and measuring capability is needed, a fifth, 100 kN load cell and hydraulic
lifting cylinder can be requested. It uses a separate bracket assembly and is issued upon
special request.
The 4 load cells and the associated hydraulic lifting cylinders of the EVT PRO 2.0
®
system
are:
•
Hydraulic lifting cylinder 1 kN / 1 kN Load cell / Approx. 220 lbF
•
Hydraulic lifting cylinder 10 kN / 10 kN Load cell / Approx. 2204 lbF
•
Hydraulic lifting cylinder 20 kN / 20 kN Load cell / Approx. 4400 lbF
•
Hydraulic lifting cylinder 50 kN / 50 kN Load cell / Approx. 7500 lbF
Option:
•
50 kN Bracket (Heavy Duty) / 50kN Load cell / Approx. 11,000 lbF
Figure 7.1 below shows one of the load cells. It is shown mounted to the Load Cell Claw
Assembly which will be discussed later.
