Low-cost VDW load cell and DFT truck professional scales

For many years, the RTN load cell used in Schenck Process’ truck scales has been a reliable guarantee for high quality standards. And now, the new low-cost VDW load cell for the latest generation of DFT truck scales offers customers even more alternatives.

Schenck Process sells truck scales of various designs all over the globe. Depending on where they are used, both technical standards and local competition may vary. The truck scale solutions deployed reflect these variations. Until now the only common denominator has been the robust, durable RTN load cell.

But markets around the world are changing. Economic requirements are changing at an ever increasing speed. Demand for simpler, lower cost and electromechanical scale solutions is growing all the time. And Schenck Process has come up with the new high-quality, self-centring VDW pressure load cell for this very reason. Many of its details are based on the experiences gleaned from the long-established RTN load cells manufacturers. For example, the tried-and-tested EMC concept has been transferred to the VDW load cell, which gives it outstanding protection from electromagnetic interference. The integrated overvoltage protection has also been adopted.
