GSS406 Spoke Type Compression Load Cell
The GSS406 is an exceptionally rigid, low-profile spoke-type compression and tension load cell designed to manage massive loads ranging from 500kg up to 200 Tons. Crafted from high-strength nickel-plated alloy steel (stainless steel option available) with rugged rubber sealing, the GSS406 provides high accuracy (0.05% F.S.) and extreme resistance to side loads and deflection. It is the gold standard for silos, batching plants, and materials testing applications.

⚙️ Mechanical Integration & Installation: The GSS406 is designed with 8 perimeter counterbored holes on the outer ring for bottom plate fixation. The center threaded hole acts as the single primary force point. We offer an optional **Weighing Head (凸型压头)** to protect the center hole and concentrate load forces vertically.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes a spoke load cell ideal for tanks and hoppers compared to S-type cells?
Silos and heavy tanks are prone to wind force, thermal expansion, and mechanical shifting. The spoke design (GSS406) features an ultra-low profile and exceptionally high structural rigidity, providing superior resistance to lateral, non-axial forces that would bend an S-type cell.
2. What are the benefits of pairing GSS406 with the GT202 transmitter?
In industrial plants, high-power motors and frequency inverters generate intense electromagnetic noise. Our GT202 single/multi-channel transmitter is engineered with special anti-harmonic filters, stabilizing the 4-20mA/0-10V signal for error-free PLC/DCS connection.
3. Can the GSS406 measure both tension and compression?
Yes. GSS406 is designed as a bidirectional (tension and compression) sensor. For tension testing setups, we can customize corresponding rod-end bearings or eye bolt attachments for you.
4. Why does the cable length vary based on the capacity?
To minimize line resistance and signal decay on massive setups, capacities under 5 Tons are standard with a 3m shielded cable, whereas capacities of 5 Tons and above come with a thick 6m cable designed for large-scale steel structure wiring.
