In the transport and logistics sector, accurate onboard weighing systems are essential. At Zemic Europe, we understand the challenges that trucks and work vehicles face daily. Our onboard load cells are specifically designed to perform in the most demanding conditions, combining durability, reliability and precision.
What are onboard load cells?
Onboard load cells are specifically designed for use in mobile weighing systems, such as those on trucks, tractors, and other vehicles. Unlike traditional load cells, onboard load cells must endure extreme conditions, including constant vibrations, heavy shocks, and exposure to challenging environmental factors. These rugged sensors are essential for ensuring accurate weight measurements directly onboard vehicles, making them a critical component in modern transport and logistics operations.
What sets onboard load cells apart from other load cells is their ability to perform reliably in such harsh conditions. With advanced designs that include robust materials, high ingress protection ratings (IP67 and IP68), and specialized adhesive sealing, onboard load cells offer unparalleled durability and precision.
Why Choose Zemic's onboard load cells?
At Zemic Europe, we combine advanced engineering with a deep understanding of the challenges faced by mobile weighing systems:
- Built for extreme conditions: Over 30,000 of our onboard load cells are in use daily, enduring intense vibrations, shocks, and heavy-duty operations without compromising accuracy.
- Robust protection: Our onboard load cells are IP67- and IP68-certified, offering complete protection against dust and water, making them ideal for even the toughest environments.
- Innovative design: Manufactured from alloy steel with a nickel coating, our onboard load cells feature a bending beam structure and specialized sealing to ensure reliable performance.
Applications of onboard load cells
With increasing regulations around overloading and safety, onboard load cells play a vital role in modern transport and logistics. Key applications include:
- Preventing overloading: Reliable weight measurements help operators comply with legal requirements, avoiding fines and reducing safety risks.
- Efficient load management: Real-time weight data allows for optimal load distribution, saving time and improving operational efficiency.
- Durability in demanding environments: Designed to withstand shocks, vibrations, and weather extremes, Zemic’s onboard load cells provide long-term reliability.
Our onboard load cells have been successfully integrated in the transport industry. For example the use of our HM9C load cell for weighing onboard of the trucks of TTS Smilde. You can read more about it in our case study. Another example is the application of our H10J load cell for onboard weighing, which you can read more about in this case study.
