Vibrating Wire Load Cells contain load elements that are manufactured from high-tensile, heat-treated, stress-relieved steel, with precision bearing surfaces. Machined overall, high-tensile matching load platens are recommended to provide a smooth parallel bearing surface and spread the load.
Both Solid and Annular style cells incorporate 3 to 6 Vibrating Wire strain sensing elements mounted parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cell and equidistant around the circumference.
With the multi sensor configuration, it is possible to obtain accurate readings even under mildly eccentric loading conditions, as the sensors are read individually. In multi-strand anchors, it is possible to tension the strands uniformly by monitoring the load in each sensor as appropriate.
