2. EILERSEN
THE WEIGHING EXPERTS
A Danish manufacturer, established
since 1969, who designs and builds
uniquely engineered and patented
weighing products for severe
industrial, mobile and sea mountable
application sites

3. EILERSEN manufactures load cells, instrumentation and communications
modules. These are all designed to work together to make your weight based
process control systems simple to implement in your most demanding
applications.

4. EILERSEN load cells are easy
to install. Mount the base
plates, level, insert the load
cell into the top capture ring,
and route your coaxial cable.
Your ready to begin
weighing.
If there is concern about up
lift, a simple upload checking
mechanism can be installed
as shown below.

5. EILERSEN has a series of
Hygienic load cells and
base plates for clean room
environments
Fasteners and their threads
are not exposed to the
possibility of
contamination.

It is OK to tack weld in place, no need for
dummy load cells

6. Load cell cables are field
repairable or replaceable
without re-calibration of the
weighing system. Even if you
change the length.
Cables are RG58 co-axial with
BNC connectors and can be
up to 100m (325-ft) long per
load cell.
No longer will you need to
connect “fiddly” little wires in
the field.
Cables are available with a
variety of coverings, ex.
Teflon, for specific application
requirements
Simply add the clamp
on connector and
screw it into the load
cell – done.
If you have ever
hooked up your TV
cable connection at
home – this is the
same process.
Even without the cable installed, the load cell is still hermetically sealed

7. Simple installations are further
realized by the fact that all
EILERSEN load cells are
calibrated at the factory.
Simply zero the deadload of
the system, check for binding,
and your system is running
and calibrated.
The load cell outputs are
actual weight values being
sent via a RS485 serial output
to an EILERSEN weight display
or communication j-box that
transmits to a PLC/PC.

8. Display screens and instrumentation are available in a variety of configurations and
enclosure types. If you do not need a display we can provide “blind” instruments to
embed inside your control panels.

9. Various communications modules are
available for your PLC or PC connections.
• Ethernet IP
• EtherCAT
• Profibus DP
• ProfiNet
• DeviceNet
• Serial RS232/422/485
• Modbus ASCII/ RTU
• Analog Output (0-10V, 4-20mA)
• Digital IO (DIO)
Typical “blind” system. Setup through
the PLC HMI screen and dip switches.
PLC setup software is available on our EILERSEN website for free.

10. No matter if you are working with a
single load cell or with multiple load cell
system, you have a choice of reading a
summed signal, or each individual load
cell in the system. Set the desired
output type during your setup routine.
Imagine the cost advantage of multiple
load cell inputs to a single
communication port.
This also means you could have 4
separate scales being input through the
same communication module.

11. So how can this technology cure so many of the problems of strain gage load cells?
The sensors do not
touch the body of
the load cell that is
flexing under load.

Until the load cell
flexure is physically
destroyed the load

and
The flexures are
thicker in a
capacitance load cell
and deflect less than
0.1mm at full
loading.

12. EILERSEN load cells are just as flexible in use as
the more typical strain gage based systems.
Here you can see a variety of single point load
cell applications for various overhanging
hoppers. The impact and overload resistance
of the technology makes mounting much easier
in OEM machinery. Over hangs to 600mm (24”)
can be supported with some of our load cells.

13. Beam load cells
used in overhead
weighing or portable
carts applications.

in on-board truck
weighing. Bolt to
the frame and
support the truck
body on 4 or 6 load
cells.
Capacitance beam load cells can also be used in
heavy vibratory machinery

(15,400-lbs) capacity

14. Capacitance based compression load
cells can be used in a wide variety of
application sites, even those with severe
startup or side load forces. Installation
remains simple even in these sites.
Capacities to 500-tons (1,100,000-lbs) are
available.

15. EILERSEN’s weighing products support many types of weighing applications. Both
plant and mobile requirements are equally supported.

16. When you have an application site that is causing
difficulties, you may wish to take a look at a
technology designed specifically for those types of
environments.
