What is an Electronic Truck Scale? Truck Scale (or called weighbridge) is the main Weighing Equipment used for bulk cargo measurement. Before the 1980s, ordinary truck scales were usually mechanical truck scales with a purely mechanical structure using the principle of leverage, also known as mechanical weighing scales. In the mid-1980s, with the maturity of high-precision Load Cell technology, mechanical platform scales were gradually replaced by electronic truck scales with high precision, good stability and easy operation.
The electronic truck scale weigh goods via using the principle of strain electric measurement, and the strain gauge is connected to the elastic body of the load cell to form a Wheatstone bridge. When there is no load, the bridge is in equilibrium and the output is zero. When the elastic body bears a load, each strain gauge will produce a strain proportional to the load, and the external load can be measured by the output voltage.
So how long is the service life of the electronic truck scale? Some people feel 8 years, some feel 10 years, and the most widely spread is 15 years. There are different opinions. How long is it? I believe that many people cannot give a definite answer on the use time of electronic truck scales. The following we will introduce to you the service life of electronic truck scales, let's have a look!
Generally speaking, there is no mandatory obsolescence period for electronic truck scales. How long the electronic truck scale can be used mainly depends on the body of the truck scale. If properly maintained, and derusting and painting every two or three years, it can be used for more than ten years. But this depends on the quality of the truck scale you buy, and certain electronic components must be replaced during use.
According to expert surveys, the scrap life of electronic truck scales has a vital relationship with the environment, materials, and structure. In addition, if the weighbridge is properly maintained and used, the service life of the electronic truck scale can be extended.
If you buy an electronic truck scale or weighbridge that does not meet your working environment, it will also affect its service life. After countless tests, the I-steel structure electronic truck scale has the longest use time. The channel steel structure electronic Platform Scale can usually be used for more than ten years, and the U-shaped steel structure electronic platform scale is usually used for eight to nine years, depending on the usage.
Facts have proved that after stress testing and careful calculation, we have obtained some data, as follows: the average daily weighing is 200 times, the service life is about 16 years, the average daily weighing is 300 times, the service life is about 12 years, and the average daily weighing is 400 times. , The service life is about 8 years.
Lude company still wants to remind you that if your electronic truck scale has reached the age limit for scrapping, it hides many safety hazards and is likely to cause you to lose more! Please change it timely.
