Load Cell Buyer's Guide

What Are Weigh Modules?

 Weigh module kits are integrated weighing systems that include load cells, load cell cables, load cell mounts and a junction box. The wide variety of weigh modules we manufacture and distribute may leave you wondering what the differences are between certain models and, most importantly, which modules are best suited for your needs. 


Suspended weigh modules use S-beam load cells and measure weight through tension as the cell is stretched. These weigh modules are ideal for hanging or suspended tanks and hoppers. 


Vessel weigh modules are available in several different configurations and capacities. This type of integrated weighing system can be used with a variety of fixed containers, including vessels, tanks and conveyor weighing. 


Truck scale weigh modules are primarily used in vehicle weighbridges to measure the weight of trucks over the scale. Designed for vehicle scale applications, truck scale weigh modules can be used in a range of industrial applications, including bulk material management, ingredient batching, and vibration mixers and tanks. 


Corrosive environment weigh modules for chemical and fertilizer plants requires systems that withstand the challenges of corrosive environments. These weigh modules combine multi-layer coated (MLC) steel load cells, stainless steel mounts and junction boxes designed for demanding conditions.
