The bolt-on strain sensor SLCF offers a practical and economical solution for vessel weighing applications where conventional load cell installations may be difficult or expensive. Engineered for direct mounting onto the support legs or framework of silos, hoppers, bins, and similar storage vessels, this bolt-on strain sensor allows weight monitoring without major structural modifications. By sensing deformation in the support structure under load, it provides an efficient way to determine vessel contents while avoiding the need to install load cell systems beneath the legs or supporting frame. This makes it especially suitable for retrofit projects and large industrial vessels where downtime and installation costs must be kept to a minimum.

As a versatile screw-on strain sensor and bolt-on load cell alternative, the SLCF is designed to detect load-related stress changes in structural supports with dependable performance. It offers a cost-conscious weighing method for applications where ultra-high precision is not the primary requirement, while still delivering reliable measurement of very high forces. Because the sensor is mounted externally, it has no impact on the operating behavior or mechanical performance of the equipment being monitored. For accurate quantitative readings, the unit should be calibrated before use, ensuring dependable results across a wide range of industrial weighing tasks.
