Looking for industrial digital weighing scales?
The fact is your business simply can’t do without use of high performance, reliable industrial scale equipment. Your reputation depends on it.
So you’ve decided you want to upgrade your industrial weighing scale equipment, but which is best: digital or analogue? Whilst you may already have a preference, it’s important that you consider which best fits your business needs.
What are the key differences?
Both scales have a proven track record; it very often comes down to the environment or situation in which they are going to be used.
Traditional analogue scales, whether floor, hanging or of a platform design, have integral mechanical components that determine weight. Most of the modern analogue scales incorporate advanced mechanisms such as a spring and dial.
Some analogue scales are not confirmed ‘legal for trade’ due to the fact that the degree of accuracy that they can achieve is not exact enough. However, if the scale is regularly calibrated and used in the same location, readings should be reliable. If it is to be frequently used, moved or subjected to different forces of gravity, a digital scale may be a better option.
Digital scales incorporate sophisticated technology
Many feel that digital scales deliver a more accurate, and consistent measurement of weight.
There are three different types of load cells found in digital scales – hydraulic, pneumatic and strain gauge.
Hydraulic load cells measure the amount of pressure on a liquid, while pneumatic load cells are based on the pressure of the gas. Strain gauge load cells are affected by change changes in electrical resistance, when a force is applied.
At the end of the day, the location, frequency of use, calibration and maintenance routines that you adopt can all affect the accuracy of the readings you take whichever scales you use, so carefully think through what you need, before you buy.
