The Model 4900 Vibrating Wire Load Cell consists of a cylinder of high-strength steel with 3, 4 or 6 vibrating wire strain gauges located around the circumference of the cell. Loads applied to the cell are measured by the vibrating wire strain gauges. The effects of uneven and eccentric loading are minimized by averaging the output of all 3, 4 or 6 individual readings.
¹Other capacities and diameters available on request. Calibrations that exceed GEOKON'S NIST traceable capacity of approximately 10,675 kN are subcontracted to an accredited testing laboratory.
²Established under laboratory conditions. System accuracy depends on end loading conditions.
