Rope Clamp Load Cells
Description:
The RC-xT range of rope clamp load cells are for measuring tension in wire ropes. These load cells have a double ended beam design and are available in 3T, 5T and 10T nominal capacities.
They are particularly well suited for retrospective installation onto wire ropes when approximate measurement of the load is required for remaining life calculations and basic load display and an in-line load cell is not readily available.
As they are calibrated in situ with the associated data logger or load limiter, they do not require specific tensioning.
- Can be fitted retrospectively.
- Sufficiently accurate for determining remaining design life of cranes and hoists.
- Available in 3 capacities for measuring rated loads up to 3T, 5T and 10T per fall.
- Can be fitted to ropes with diameters between 8 and 32mm.
- IP67 rated.
- Simple installation - clamp on, connect up 4 wires and calibrate in situ.
