Global precision measurement leader METTLER TOLEDO has announced the launch of its advanced POWERCELL® GDD™ Load Cells, designed to deliver unmatched accuracy, reliability, and durability in heavy-capacity vehicle weighing applications such as truck and rail scales.
The POWERCELL GDD series leverages state-of-the-art digital signal processing to ensure superior weighing performance compared to traditional analog load cells. With simplified installation, built-in diagnostics, and robust stainless steel construction, the GDD system sets new standards for efficiency and longevity in industrial weighing.
Key Features and Benefits
Superior Accuracy & Performance: Digital weight processing minimizes errors and enhances repeatability, ensuring precise vehicle weighing even under challenging conditions.
Simple Connectivity: A sealed POWERCELL® Hub network with pre-attached cables simplifies field installation and reduces setup time.
Advanced Diagnostics: Unique to the GDD series, individual load cell outputs can be viewed directly from the terminal, making problem identification and repairs faster and more cost-effective.
Durability in Harsh Environments: Stainless steel components are laser welded to provide IP68 and IP69K protection, guaranteeing long-term reliability in extreme weather and rugged industrial sites.
Innovative Rocker-Column Design: An integral suspension system self-aligns the load cell for precise measurements, while a debris shield protects against stones and contaminants.
Global Compliance and Versatility
The POWERCELL GDD load cells are approved under both OIML C3 and NTEP 10000d
IIIL-M standards, ensuring compliance with international metrology requirements. Kits are available in multiple configurations for new truck scale installations or retrofits, with capacities ranging from 20 to 50 tons.
Built to Last
Engineered for resilience, the load cells feature lightning protection tested up to 29,000 amps, safe dynamic load tolerance up to 70% of rated capacity, and fatigue life exceeding one million cycles.
“POWERCELL GDD combines the proven reliability of METTLER TOLEDO’s weighing technology with modern digital intelligence and rugged design. It is the ideal choice for industries demanding both precision and durability in vehicle weighing,” said a company spokesperson.
