What material is better for column type load cells?

CurrentlyLoad CellThe main materials used are aluminum alloy, alloy steel, and stainless steel, whileColumn type weighing sensorThe main materials used are alloy steel and stainless steel, as the application environment of column type weighing sensors is harsh and has higher requirements for materials.

Column type weighing sensors are suitable for applications with very high loads, and each column type material sensor can measure a weight of up to 300 tons. They are mainly used for truck scales, weighbridges, material tank scales, container scales, and hopper scales. In the application process, cylindrical load cells are usually directly exposed to the outside and will be eroded by the surrounding environment, so there is a certain demand for their ability to resist corrosion and moisture.

Alloy steel has the characteristics of good texture, affordable price, and good reaction effect, but its disadvantage is that it is not corrosion-resistant and easy to rust. Therefore, column sensors made of alloy steel are suitable for use in areas where the production environment is not complex. However, in order to improve the corrosion resistance of alloy steel, nowadays weighing sensor manufacturers will coat the surface of alloy steel sensors with a layer of nickel, which can give them good corrosion resistance and moisture resistance.

The column type weighing sensor made of stainless steel has all the characteristics of alloy steel material, and has excellent corrosion resistance, longer service life, and is suitable for use in some special environments. After the stainless steel casing is welded in place, it can form a full seal to prevent moisture from entering the inside of the weighing sensor, which can prevent performance degradation and subsequent failures.
