One
of the keys to a successful product is simplicity in design and application.
Typically, the simpler the product design, the greater the reliability.
This philosophy is what has made the Century dial indicator our most
successful instrument for almost 40 years. The Century dial indicator
is self-powered by a hydraulic load cell, which makes it ideal for
remote locations where electrical power is impractical or unavailable.
This independence from electrical power also makes the system immune
to power surges & failures, EMI/RFI, lightning strikes and other
electrical problems that can plague electronic instrumentation.
The hydraulic load cell that powers the Century is a piston and cylinder
assembly designed to convert weight or force into a proportional hydraulic
pressure signal. The rugged load cell is ideal for harsh environments
where shock loading, vibration, corrosion or stray electrical fields
are a consideration. Some models are even equipped with a sliding
top plate to accommodate the horizontal thermal expansion of large
vessels.
Century dial indicators are available in five sizes, from 6 to 18",
and can be remote mounted up to 200 feet (65m) from the scale location.
Flexible hydraulic hose or PVC coated copper tubing connects the dial
to the load cell. Self-sealing quick disconnect fittings come standard
on most systems to allow easy installation of remote mounted Century
indicators and to allow additional tubing length to be added in the
field when necessary. All Century dials come standard with a manual
tare adjustment knob and a built in pressure snubber. Optional accessories
include our Satellite® 4-20mA transmitter, adjustable alarm set
point and fixed alarm set point. |
