Lightweight Wireless Tension Link – Overview

The Wireless Tension Link is designed for lifting and weighing measurement and performance monitoring in rugged or harsh environments. It is manufactured from high-tensile aluminium to minimise weight. This tension link is ideal for mobile use, with brushed steel holes providing added wear protection from shackles and other applications. Suitable for use in under-hook crane weighing, cable tension monitoring, crane/hoist proof loading, water weights calibration, and warehouse despatch weighing. The wireless antenna is internally mounted, protecting it from accidental damage during use and handling. The WTSATL range also uses standard AAA alkaline batteries, which are readily available and low-cost. They are simple to install and have a high safety factor (5:1) to provide safe and accurate measurements during critical lifting operations. The WTSATL is supplied as standard without any additional wireless devices to enable greater flexibility with the configuration and ordering of the product. The WTSATL can be used with any of the WTS range of wireless instrumentation, whether this is for a simple display system using the WTS-BS-1-HS wireless portable display, or more complex systems using multiple load cells and multiple wireless devices.
