Load Links, also known as dynamometers, are specialized load cells designed to measure both static and dynamic loads when tensioned between two points, typically using shackles. These versatile tools find applications across a wide range of industries, including heavy lifting, entertainment, and towing. Essentially, whenever opposing tensions are applied between two points, a Load Link can be employed effectively.
Wired vs Wireless Load Links: Which One Fits Your Needs?
When it comes to Load Links, the primary distinction lies between wired and wireless options. Wired Load Links are often favored in scenarios where the load cell remains fixed in place, such as in permanent installations or products where mobility isn’t a concern. For instance, in sensitive environments like military or nuclear operations, wired solutions are sometimes preferred to avoid potential interference from wireless technology, even though such issues are rare. Wired Load Links can be used individually or in groups to monitor different parts of an application. With cable lengths extending up to 1500 meters, these Load Links are ideal for large-scale structures and long-distance monitoring. Additionally, our StraightPoint wired Load Links can be easily integrated with wireless transmitters, allowing data transmission without physical wires. This setup enables remote control of functions like ‘tare’, ‘on/off’, and overload alarms through handheld devices, computers, smartphones, or PLCs.
On the other hand, Wireless Load Links dominate the market due to their flexibility and convenience. Without the hassle of cables, they’re perfect for on-site lifts involving complex rigging and multiple monitoring points. Like their wired counterparts, wireless Load Links can be used independently or in clusters to measure tension at various locations. The hiring industry particularly appreciates their portability, quick setup, and reduced risk of damage during transportation. Thanks to advanced technology, wireless Load Links can now connect seamlessly with PLCs, tablets, PCs, and smartphones, offering more than just basic handheld controls. They also come equipped with built-in displays showing the current load, along with easy-to-use buttons for features like ‘tare’ (to reset weights), ‘on/off’, and overload alerts. Concerned about range? Our StraightPoint wireless Load Links boast an impressive wireless range of up to 700 meters. And don’t worry about frequent battery changes—four AA batteries can keep these Load Links running for approximately 1200 hours.
Both wired and wireless Load Links serve critical roles depending on the application. Whether you need precise measurements in a stable environment or flexible solutions for dynamic setups, Load Links provide reliable performance tailored to your needs.
Weighing Cabinet
