Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Level Sensor / Load Cell System

Definition
An integrated measurement system within RAP Storage Bins that combines level sensing and load cell technologies to provide real-time monitoring of material quantity, ensuring accurate inventory management and preventing overfilling or underfilling conditions in industrial storage applications.
Working Principle
The system operates by using level sensors (typically ultrasonic, radar, or capacitance-based) to detect material height, while load cells measure weight through strain gauge technology. Data from both sensors is integrated to provide comprehensive material quantity information, accounting for material density variations and ensuring accurate volume-to-weight conversions.
Common Materials
Stainless steel housing, Strain gauge elements, Electronic components, Protective coatings
Technical Parameters
  • Measurement range and accuracy specifications for level detection (mm) Standard Spec
Components / BOM
  • Level Sensor Probe
    Detects material height through ultrasonic, radar, or capacitance technology
    Material: Stainless steel
  • Load Cell Assembly
    Measures weight through strain gauge deformation under load
    Material: Alloy steel
  • Signal Processor
    Integrates and processes data from both sensors
    Material: Electronic components
  • Mounting Hardware
    Secures the system to the storage bin structure
    Material: Galvanized steel
Engineering Reasoning
0-100% level detection, 0-5000 kg weight measurement
Strain gauge deformation exceeding 0.2% strain, capacitive sensing deviation >5% from calibrated baseline
Design Rationale: Wheatstone bridge circuit imbalance due to strain gauge fatigue, dielectric constant variation in capacitive sensing from material buildup
Risk Mitigation (FMEA)
Trigger Moisture ingress exceeding IP67 rating
Mode: Signal drift >10% FS due to Wheatstone bridge corrosion
Strategy: Hermetic sealing with epoxy encapsulation and desiccant chambers
Trigger Shock loading exceeding 150% rated capacity
Mode: Permanent strain gauge deformation causing 25% zero offset
Strategy: Mechanical stop design limiting deflection to 0.5mm and overload protection circuitry
