Load Cell Model ELC-31V (MTI.EWS.ER.M-ELC-31V). The model ELC-31V vibrating wire center hole load cell is made of a sensitive pressure pad which is formed by joining together two very stiff steel discs at their periphery. The space inside the cell is filled with de-aired fluid. When load is applied to the cell, the pressure on the fluid changes. This change in fluid pressure is used to record the variation in load being applied to the cell. The load is distributed equally over the loading area of the cell by a thick, distribution plate. Load distribution plates can be used both above & below the load cell to ensure an even distribution of load on to the cell. Bottom load distribution plates is not required if an adequate bearing plate has been incorporated into the proposed installation arrangement.
