Load cells: NBC Elettronica Group

NBC Elettronica is a leader in industrial weighing systems with the production of components such as load cells.

The load cells of NBC Elettronica Group.

For over 40 years NBC Elettronica Group has been a leader in the production of industrial weighing systems with the production of various components such as load cell that can change depending on the application.

In fact, NBC Elettronica Group finds application in various fields such as the automotive sector with load cells applied to test benches, off-shore, the livestock sector and the packaging sector.

Precisely for this reason the load cells produced by the company are of different types and can weigh from grams up to tons.

The load cells used in industrial weighing systems are transducers, electronic components that measure the force applied to an object thanks to an electrical signal that varies as the deformation that the force in question produces on the component itself varies.

The activity of the research and the development team allows to experiment with new technologies on the market and always find new high-performance and innovative solutions.

NBC Elettronica Group is recognized all over the world in the sector of weighing systems applied to various fields.

Currently, load cells have become essential in many industrial processes and the fields of application are many.

NBC Elettronica Group provides industrial electronic weighing solutions for the industrial sector that can be completely customized and interfaced with different types of load cells whose performance depends on many factors, among which the correct installation of the same plays a crucial role. The load cells are different according to customer needs:

  • load cell
  •  
  • central load cell
  •  
  • compression load cell
  •  
  • shear beam load cell
  •  
  • traction load cell
  •  
  • flexion load cell
  •  
  • flange load cell
  • Different models of load cells designed by a team of professionals

    NBC Elettronica has been operating in the field of industrial weighing systems for over 50 years, with the desire to innovate the world of industrial production.

    NBC Elettronica Group supports its customers from the design to the implementation of the product, with an after-sales assistance and repair service.

    Today NBC Elettronica Group continues to strengthen its leadership position, thanks to the continuous investment in advanced technologies for the design and manufacture of the best components to make dynamometer models more and more performing and precise.

    NBC Elettronica Group, the vanguard of electronic design consultancy.

    NBC Elettronica has been operating in the field of electronic design consultancy since 1980.

    It immediately presented itself with the desire to innovate the world of industrial production.

    It did this with the introduction of revolutionary techniques and tools in electronic weighing, such as the smallest dynamometer in the world.

    After having ranged through many different sectors, today NBC Elettronica operates mainly in these sectors.

    They represent the most innovative fields in which to experiment with new technologies of measuring instruments: for more than 40 years the company has been the first Italian manufacturer of load cells and force and precision measuring instruments.

    Today it continues to strengthen its leadership, thanks to the continuous investment in advanced technologies for the design and construction of load cells.

    He always uses electronic instruments capable of satisfying the most varied industrial and metrological applications.

    Concreteness and 40 years of experience have allowed NBC Elettronica Group to continuously improve.

    Making increasingly technological products available to the customer, made on the basis of individual requests.

    Load cells and high-tech instruments compatible with any weighing system and suitable for all sectors of industrial application.

    The research of materials and the quality of our products are certified by absolute bodies.

Load cells: the key to industrial weighing systems

The most common application of transducers is in electronic weighing systems

The load cells used in the industrial weighing systems are transducers, electronic components capable of measuring the force applied to an object thanks to an electrical signal which varies as the deformation produced by the force on the component varies itself. They are generally composed of an elastic metal body (in steel or aluminum) on which are glued strain gauges that read the mechanical deformation of compression or traction undergone by the material through the variation of electrical resistance caused by the deformation itself.

The elastic element, when a load is applied, undergoes a minimum change in shape which results in a variation of the electrical signal of the strain gauge circuit with Wheatstone bridge. The most common application of load cells is in electronic weighing systems and in the measurement of the mechanical stress of compression and traction.

Load cells according to the requirements

The elastic element, when a load is applied, undergoes a minimum change in shape which results in a variation of the electrical signal of the strain gauge circuit with Wheatstone bridge. The most common application of load cells is in electronic weighing systems and in the measurement of the mechanical stress of compression and traction.

  • Central load cells
  • compression load cells
  • shear beam load cells
  • traction load cells
  • flexion load cells
  • flange load cells
  • pin load cells
  • static torque meters

Models with integrated analog (0-10V or 4-20mA) and digital (CanOpen) interfaces are also available, ATEX or IECEx certified and used in places where there is a risk of explosion, load cells that follow the OIML R60 accuracy classes used in the field of legal metrology and finally redundant (ie with double channel) used in SIL (Safety Integrity Level) systems.


Numerous sectors concerned

Cells have now become essential in many industrial processes and the fields of application are many. Among the main sectors we can certainly mention the following:

  • Livestock sector where they are used to automate certain processes such as feed dosage and storage
  • Dosing and sorting of food products
  • Gravimetric filling systems for bottles and cans
  • Weighing of means of transport and storage (trucks, train carriages, ships, tanks, etc.)
  • Avoiding overloading on overhead cranes during the lifting phase and to comply with SIL standards
  • Geotechnical field where they are used to determine the forces applied by the tie rods or the forces of the riveting or bolting in tunnels, diaphragms and retaining walls
  • Safety on aerial platforms and cranes
  • Test benches for the overhaul of cars, motorcycles and trucks
  • In the oil&gas sector during the drafting of gas pipelines.

The performance of a cell depends on many factors, among which the correct installation of the cell plays a crucial role. Precisely for this reason NBC Elettronica Group supports its customers from the design to the implementation of the product, with an after-sales assistance and repair service.
