Load cells should be selected based on their performance (accuracy grade), environmental sealing (construction and element material), overload capabilities (safety), load introduction (off-centre sensitivity), dimensions and ease of mounting. 

Weighing indicators are commonly found in the classic weighing industry. Most models are available in desk stand and panel mount versions. In general you could state that indicators indicate the weight value in grammes, kilogrammes, tons, pounds and newton on a graphic or led display.

Zemic Europe has extended the mount portfolio. The new mounts are designed based on the feedback we received from the market.

Predictive maintenance is being developed in many market sectors

Loadcell Deflection

Zemic offers a full range of junction boxes to connect loadcells in parallel. Recently Zemic Europe has expanded its range of products with the introduction of ATEX junction boxes. Zemic has exhibited the new junction boxes at  the Sensor + Test Exhibition in Nurnberg.

The new feature for these junction boxes is that they are ATEX certified, therefore approved  for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The internal screw terminals make the installation of the junction boxes very easy.

Ingress Protection (IP) is the degree of protection against the intrusion of dust and water. The degree of protection can be found on the datasheet of every load cell model. All Zemic Europe models are completely protected against dust ingress and are therefore classified as IP6X.

We regularly receive questions from our customers about creep. That is why we are happy to provide some extra information on this subject.
