Thames Side Sensors provides the ultimate in load cells and loading
assemblies for tank, vessel, silo, process and truck/axle weighing
applications as well as for incorporation into many types of process
machinery.

Our mounting assemblies, which are designed in accordance with Eurocode 3 practices, form a crucial part of the weighing system. Use of the latest Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software pinpoints the optimum design of assembly for correct operation and rigorous manufacturing & test procedures ensure total reliability under the harshest of conditions. These innovative mounting assemblies provide a simple, but complete, mechanical link between the weighing structure and support base, removing the need in many applications for additional tie bars or other restraints.

Our patented designs of mounting assembly, LeverMount® and MasterMount®, allow rapid installation and removal of the load cell without jacks or special tools even when the vessel is full, providing major savings on installation costs.

Options of special anti-corrosive load cell coatings to provide additional protection in extreme environments where stress corrosion could occur, and high temperature load cells for operation up to 150 degrees C, are just a few of the examples of what sets us apart from the rest.
