Straightpoint Radiolink Plus & Handheld Plus
Crosby Straightpoint

Straightpoint Radiolink Plus & Handheld Plus

Radiolink plus is designed to be rigged with Crosby standard shackles - DNV-GL type approved wireless tension load cell capable of weighing and dynamic load monitoring in capacities from 1t to 500t – from stock with an ATEX and IECEx version available for hazardous areas, zones 0,1&2.

Two versions of the RLP are available: 

  • Long range 2.4GHz version providing industry leading wireless range of 1000m or 3280ft to SP's SW-HHP handheld or software options
  • Bluetooth output and can be connected to any smart phone running our free HHP app on iOS or Android at ranges up to 100m or 328ft

Constructed from high quality aerospace grade aluminium it features an advanced internal design structure. This design not only provides the product with an unrivalled strength to weight ratio but it also allows the use of a separate internal sealed enclosure providing the load cell's electronic components with IP67 or NEMA6 environmental protection even with the battery cover plate missing, making this industry leading dynamometer even more suitable for use in the harshest environments.

The versatile RLP is supplied with an update rate of 3Hz and can be easily configured to run at industry leading speeds of up to 200Hz making it ideal for dynamic force measurement.

Decades of development into this product include many stand out features such as SP's unique strain gauging method that helps compensate for wire rope torque when the Radiolink is loaded. The Radiolink plus tension load cell can also be used in combination with Straightpoint Insight software high speed wireless data logging software allowing for simultaneous control, display and real time data logging of up to 126 Straightpoint wireless load cells.

A full array of wireless accessories are also available including signal boosters, LED wireless scoreboards and base stations with analogue (4-20mA, 0-10v, 0-5v) or digital (RS232/485, Modbus RTU, and ASCII) outputs.

UTILCELL 350 Shear beam Load Cell

The shear beam load cell Model 350 (300…10.000 kg), together its mounting kits, have been designed for robust and accurate weighing in industrial processes of tanks and hoppers, with multiple advantages:

  • Many versions available from fully stainless steel construction with IP 68 and IP 69K protection to nickelplated alloy steel construction with IP 66 protection.
  • Globally certified by: OIML, NTEP, CE, ATEX, FM, IECEx
  • Highly recommended load cell for any type of tanks and hoppers in industrial weighing applications.
  • High repeatability and high accuracy of the weighing values.
  • Accessories available in several versions:
    • Improved force transmission to the load cell due to a ball-based joint, giving the best accommodation in cases of thermal expansions, structural torsions and deflections.
    • Rubber silent-block for higher impact and vibration protection.
    • Load foot for industrial 4-load cell platform scales.
  • Superior safety systems for the utmost reliability:
    • Easy installation in the tank and hopper supports, with or without the load cell.
    • Blockage bolts for transport protection of the load cells.
    • Upper plate with conical holes for self-centering.
    • Integrated lift-off prevention system.

VPG Transducers Model 5330 Agribar™

Model 5330 Agribar™ - The answer to making smart agriculture machinery

Model 5330 Agribar™ is a heavy-duty, single-ended bending beam load cell, specifically designed for use in the agricultural industry. Agribar™ is an ideal load cell to complete any weighing control loop system existing in large agriculture machinery such as farming spreaders or harvest trailers, allowing to measure and control accumulation or dispensing of commodities (such as animal/bird feed & fertilizer).

The Agribar™ is constructed from alloy steel covered with VPG Transducers' innovative Electrodeposited Organic Coating (EDOC), resulting in high resistance against corrosion and abrasion while fulfilling IP67 and IP69K environmental protection levels. The load cell sustains an impressive temperature tolerance and comes at maximum weighing capacity of 6150kg as standard. Custom capacities and CAN bus protocol are available on demand, making Agribar™ highly desirable and ideal for most vehicle system integration.
