Working machines like mobile cranes are designed to hoist and move heavy loads. Despite their sturdiness, cranes do have an upper limit of how much weight they can handle. That’s where force measurement comes in. For cranes without hydraulics, tension links measure …
A U.S. manufacturer of agricultural equipment has long relied on WIKA’s pressure sensors for machine control. It now is starting to use the RLT-1000 in its sprayer tanks, a critical area for level measurement in farm sprayers, due to this level sensor’s quality, …
In mobile working machines, overload conditions – especially on the booms of cranes, hoists, and lifts – can result in serious safety and operational problems. Force measuring instruments, such as WIKA’s F53 series of thin-film load pins, can help save time, …
A major engineering company has a customer with very exacting requirements for the pressure instrumentation needed in its mobile hydraulic power units. WIKA’s CPG-1200 digital pressure gauge was the robust, highly accurate device both parties were looking for. …
Accurate level measurement of tanks and vessels is key to cost-effective operations in mobile working machines like agricultural sprayers and fire trucks. However, due to various tank designs, manufacturers of such machinery can’t use standard off-the-shelf sensors. …
