The load cells are electro-mechanical sensors used to measure force or weight. They provide accurate and robust performance across a diverse range of applications \u2013 from automating car manufacturing to weighing shopping at the supermarket checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New types of load cells are continuously being designed to meet the needs of this ever-changing market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we designed the new 55-20 weighing module, BUMAX was able to meet all our demands for high strength fasteners to ensure performance and reliability,\u201d said Klaus Fuchs, Engineering Manager at Flintec Germany. \u201cThe BUMAX 88 fasteners used in our 55-20 weighing module have proved to be highly reliable and we have had no issues to date. We are very likely to use BUMAX fasteners on future products, depending on the environmental and design specifications we have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>High strength, maintenance-free and durable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crucial properties of the BUMAX 88 stainless steel fastener are high strength, corrosion resistant, durable and maintenance free with a low temperature toughness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Flintec 55-20 weighing module is a low-profile unit that enables customers to install load cells beneath the legs of their silos, tanks or other storage solutions. The built-in load cell offers a wide range of high precision weighing capacities from 7.5T through to 300T. The 55-20 is equipped with an integrated lift-off system and bump stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The low temperature toughness of BUMAX\u00ae 88 is a crucial property for the 55-20 weighing module that helps to avoid breakages in low temperatures when conventional steel can become brittle. The module has an operating temperature range of between -40\u00b0C to 80\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The enhanced properties of BUMAX 88 fasteners are achieved through a higher molybdenum content (minimum 2.5%), unique BUMAX manufacturing processes and the sourcing of the highest quality European steel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swedish specialist fastener manufacturer&nbsp;BUMAX&nbsp;has supplied its premium&nbsp;BUMAX 88&nbsp;fasteners for one of&nbsp;Flintec\u2019s&nbsp;most recent weighing modules to meet industry strength and reliability requirements as well as European standards.
