Weighbridge, also commonly known as Truck Scale
or Truck Weighing Balance or Truck Weighing
Scale is a device for weighing loads carried
by road or rail wagons. This weighing scale
is very heavy duty and which is used to weight
heavy vehicle likes truck, mini truck, long
tellers etc. Generally there are two types of
weighbridge mechanical and electronic.
The mechanical weigh bridge (weighbridge or
truck weighing scales) Installed over a rectangular
pit that contains levers that ultimately connect
balance mechanism. The most complex portion
of this type is the arrangement of levers underneath
the weigh bridge since the response of the scale
must be independent of the distribution of the
load.
Modern devices (electronic weigh bridge) use
multiple strain gauges that connect to electronic
equipment to totalize the sensor inputs. In
either type of semi-permanent scale the weight
readings are typically recorded in a nearby
hut or office. |
