How to prevent the load cell from rusting and damaging?

To prevent the load cell from rusting, the following measures can be taken:

Selection of suitable materials: The shell of the load cell is usually made of aluminum alloy, alloy steel or stainless steel. When selecting the sensor, the combined material should be selected according to the use environment. For example, in wet or corrosive environment, the sensor made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials should be preferred.

Surface treatment: Rust prevention treatment, such as spraying antirust paint or electroplating, can effectively prevent rust. These treatments can form a protective layer on the sensor surface to isolate air and moisture, thus reducing the possibility of rust.

Do a good job of sealing: ensure the sealing performance of the load cell is good, especially the cable connection part. Sealant or sealing ring can be used to enhance the sealing effect and prevent moisture and moisture from entering the sensor.

Regular cleaning and maintenance: clean and maintain the load cell regularly to remove dirt and accumulated water on the surface. Wipe the sensor surface with a soft cloth to avoid using cleaning agents containing corrosive components.

Control the storage environment: when storing the load cell, a dry and well-ventilated environment should be selected to avoid the influence of high temperature and high mixed corrosive gas. At the same time, the sensor should be placed in a special storage junction or package to reduce the influence of external environment.

Install protective device: Install baffle or protective cover around the load cell to prevent impurities from contaminating the cell and some movable parts. These protective devices can also reduce the direct influence of external environmental factors on the sensor and prolong its service life.

To sum up, the above measures can effectively prevent the load cell from rusting and damage, and improve its service life and measurement accuracy.
