Aircraft Load Monitoring

The Erichsen 343 scales are high quality hydraulic gauges specially suited for the aircraft and aviation industries where the hydraulic gauges are used for force balancing, weighing and weight distribution. The Erichsen 343 hydraulic gauges for aircraft and aviation are made of stainless steel and are hermetically sealed into a closed circuit filled with hydraulic oil. The hydraulic gauges are easy to operate and do not require any power source.

The large dial allows you to view loads from a distance. If the gauge needs to be viewed from a remote location an optional extended tube for the dial can be added. These hydraulic gauges come with a center thru hole enabling them to be used wherever there is a need to fit a centering adapter to secure the load being applied. The centering hole design allows for accurate load applications in both compression and tension applications.

Unlike their electronic counterparts (load cells with digital indicators), the Erichsen 343 hydraulic gauges are immune to ESD (Electro Static Discharge) and transient voltages.

Due to its rugged design the Erichsen 343 hydraulic gauges can operate in harsh environments where traditional hydraulic gauges give up. They come with a load range of 1 kN (220 lbs) to 2500 kN (560.000 lbs) and an accuracy of 1.6% of full scale. An optional digital indicator is available.

The Erichsen 343 hydraulic gauges may also be used in additional applications such as hydraulic press, clamp force verification, continuous measurement of axial forces, to monitor bearing forces that arise on lathes, boring machines, extrusion presses and similar.
