Tension Weigh Modules
Tension weigh modules are designed for applications that require a tank, hopper, or
other structure to be suspended. They are installed as part of the suspension system, so
that the full weight of the hopper and its contents hangs from the weigh modules. Tension
weigh modules can also be used to convert mechanical level scales for electronic
weighing. Each weigh module has the basic components shown in Figure 11-1.

Load Cell: This S-beam load cell uses a strain gauge to convert the mechanical force
exerted by the weight of a hopper into an electric signal that provides a weight reading
