A truck scale is a large set of scales typically mounted on concrete foundations and used to weigh trucks along with their contents. The weight of the load a truck carries is calculated by the difference between the truck’s weight when loaded and when it’s empty.
Truck scales are essential in industries that operate a fleet of trucks daily and need to monitor inventory, costs, and other logistical metrics. Having a reliable and accurate truck scale helps such businesses operate efficiently and safeguard revenue streams.
Truck scales have developed considerably over time, with modern variations coming in different sizes and using new technology to provide a solution for any application.
A truck scale can be broken down into several main components. These are the foundation, load cell, terminal, scale deck, junction box, and cables. Depending on the state and regional requirements, most truck scales are installed with concrete pits or aboveground foundations. Unlike older mechanical scales, modern truck scales can be installed in shallow rather than deep pits.
Load cells generate an analog signal converted into a digital signal at the load cell itself, weight indicator, or junction box to accurately display the truck’s weight. You’ll find these load cells at the corners of each module. If well maintained, a truck scale can last you upwards of 25 years.
Most of these components are standard in most truck scales, with slight differences in the deck and load cell in most types.
什么是卡车秤？
卡车秤是一组大型衡器，通常安装在混凝土基础上，用于对卡车及其所载货物进行称重。卡车装载的货物重量是通过卡车装载时和空车时的重量差来计算的。
卡车秤对于每天运营一支卡车车队并需要监控库存、成本和其他物流指标的行业至关重要。拥有一台可靠、准确的汽车衡有助于此类企业高效运营，保障收入来源。
随着时间的推移，卡车秤有了很大的发展，现代的卡车秤有不同的尺寸，并采用新技术为各种应用提供解决方案。
汽车衡可分为几个主要部件。它们是基础、称重传感器、终端、秤台、接线盒和电缆。根据国家和地区的要求，大多数卡车秤都安装在混凝土基坑或地面基础上。与老式机械秤不同，现代卡车秤可以安装在浅坑而不是深坑中。
称重传感器产生的模拟信号在称重传感器本身、称重显示器或接线盒中转换成数字信号，从而准确显示卡车的重量。您可以在每个模块的四角找到这些称重传感器。如果维护得当，卡车衡的使用寿命可达 25 年以上。
这些组件中的大多数都是大多数卡车秤的标准组件，只是大多数类型的秤台和称重传感器略有不同。
