Frequently Answers and Questions

What is the purpose of the Model 4900 load cell?

The Model 4900 load cell is designed to measure the load on tiebacks and rockbolts. It can also be used during pile load tests and to monitor loads in struts, tunnel supports, etc.

How does the Model 4900 load cell work?

The load cell is constructed in the form of a high strength steel cylinder in which vibrating wire strain gages are embedded to measure the change of strain in the cylinder as it comes under load. The output of these strain gages is processed by a readout box, which displays the load in engineering units.

What are the different types of readout boxes that can be used with the Model 4900 load cell?

The Model 4900 load cell can be used with the GK-403, GK-404 and GK-405 readout boxes. Each of these boxes has different features and capabilities, so you should select the one that best meets your needs.

How do I install the Model 4900 load cell?

The load cell should be installed between flat steel bearing plates of sufficient thickness. The plates should be machined flat and completely cover the load-bearing surface of the load cell. The tieback or rockbolt should be centralized inside the load cell.

How do I take readings from the Model 4900 load cell?

You can take readings from the load cell using one of the readout boxes. The readout box will display the load in engineering units. To take readings using the GK-403 readout box, you will need to connect the load cell to the readout box using flying leads or a load cell module. To take readings using the GK-404 or GK-405 readout boxes, you will need to connect the load cell to the box using a patch cord or a 10 pin connector.
