Load Cell & Crane Scale Calibration Services

Calibration and repair industrial facility, serving all countries across the world, is equipped with a range of load cell calibration test rigs up to 350t/770,000lbs.
All types of load cells, dynamometers, crane scales and other force sensors maybe calibrated and certified including Mantracourt, Strainstall, JCM Scotload, Dillon, Tractel, Eilon Engineering, Red Rooster , Elite Transducers, Yale and many more – as well as our own brand.

It is important load systems used to measure and monitor forces across industry are optimised for peak accuracy, providing predictable output to recognised standards.

When to calibrate load cells and other force sensors?

Load cells tend to become unstable or drift for a variety of reasons. Factors that can adversely affect function include gradual degrading of the load cell, instrumentation fault development, cabling and termination, electrical influence and mechanical effects.

Failure to inspect or clean load cells is a significant factor that can lead to operational, functional and calibration issues. Particulate matter can build up around load cells and load cell mounts over time, even in clean environments.

Outdoor load systems face more variable-to-extreme conditions. Weigh systems such as crane scales are subject to inclement and seasonal changeable weather, leading to problems developing in previously accurate load cells. A typical problem might be with connected load cell drains that can cause force sensor failure over time.

Important Warning: When a load system fails to function, not delivering any force measurement or monitoring information, do not simply disconnect the system.

An investigation of the full load system is normally required to ensure return to safe and high performance operation. Simple re-calibration of a single faulty load cell within a system may have dangerous effects leading to mechanical failure.
