Compression Load Cell Systems

Crown compression load cells (often called pancake load cells) are designed to
give precise readings when compressed by a bulk tank, deadline anchor or in
other weight indication applications. Hydraulic compression load cells are ideally
used in instances where electrical load cells may cause sparks and be potential
explosion hazards. When the load cell is compressed, pressure increases in the
hydraulic fluid and the fluid is pushed through a high pressure hose to the weight
indicator gauge. Each hydraulic weight indicator system comes complete with load
cell, hose and gauge, and all can be custom designed to suit your application. We
offer a variety of sizes for many different applications and each load cell is
designed for long life in the field with little to no maintenance needed. When it is
time to repair Crown compression load cells, we offer replacement parts, such as
diaphragms, in our online store.
All Crown Compression Load Cells are built to meet or exceed API specifcations.

Hydraulic Load Cells

Our hydraulic load cells are built to last, with a diaphragm designed to ease friction
and leaks that are common in less sophisticated hydraulic sensors. Hydraulic load
cells have exceptional dependability in outdoor environments because they do not
require electricity; and therefore, the harsh elements, such as water and corrosive
media, cannot affect performance.
