Description
The CCG Series of annular load cells are designed for the measurement of compressive forces, both continually and periodically and are often used to monitor bolt tension on wind turbines, or similar structures. These load cells often used in electro-mechanical test rigs and other critical bolted installations for monitoring continuously or periodically the tension profile of bolts during their use in the installation. The CCG is also used in cable tension systems and usually positioned at the cable anchor point.
