The load cell’s on-board microprocessor also provides you with the most accurate, weight possible by continually adapting to common factors such as temperature, nonlinearity, hysteresis, voltage variation, and sensor creep, which affect all strain gauge load cells. POWERCELL PDX is designed to be used in virtually any environment to provide you with unmatched performance and industry leading total cost of ownership.

Features and Benefits

  • No junction boxes – revolutionary design eliminates all junction boxes, which are wired by hand in the field and are a common cause of vehicle scale failures (photo at right shows an example of a junction box from older technology)
  • Simplified network – removing junction boxes reduces the number of connections by at least 25% compared to other systems
  • Lightning protection - verified by independent testing to withstand up to an 80k amp surge, the built-in lightning protection system provides a shield for your load cells and the terminal to keep your scale running and eliminate unplanned expenses due to bad weather (tested to International Electrotechnical Commission IEC62305-1)
  • Submersible - hermetically sealed, IP68/IP69K system, including the fully welded enclosure and watertight connectors, ensures that a flooded scale won’t destroy your maintenance budget or give you an unnecessary insurance claim
  • Market-leading, long-lasting, accuracy Laboratory Lightning Test - 100% tested to provide superior weighing performance in all environments and conditions
  • Predictive diagnostics - self monitoring system can notify you (on screen, email, text message) of potential weighing errors before they become significant problems
  • Robust design - heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant stainless steel designed to resist damage in abusive environments
  • Easy maintenance – quick-release connectors are designed to save time and money, getting your scale back in service quickly while using the same robust, highly reliable design found in the harshest and wettest military and medical applications, where performance is a matter of life and death

POWERCELL® GDD® Load Cells (Vehicle load cells with superior accuracy and dependability)

POWERCELL® GDD® vehicle load cells by METTLER TOLEDO provide superior accuracy and reliability in a digital load cell. The POWERCELL® brand has stood the test of time with load cells in the field for over 20 years, weathering the harshest conditions and maintaining weighing accuracy. POWERCELL® digital load cells offer a vast improvement in weighing accuracy when compared to traditional analog load cells, providing METTLER TOLEDO quality at an economical price.


POWERCELL® Technology

POWERCELL® load cells provide superior quality and reliability for heavy capacity weighing in the harshest environments. Digital signal processing provides advanced weighing performance compared to analog load cells.

Improved Diagnostics

Unlike traditional analog load cell networks, POWERCELL® load cells provide diagnostic capability to alert the operator to the location of an issue. Diagnostics makes it possible to work on the individual load cell rather than going through the lengthy process of testing each cell. Compatibility with DataBridge™ provides additional value.

Simple Connectivity

Traditional analog load cells to junction box connections provide endless headaches and frustration. POWERCELL® load cells provide simple connectivity to junction boxes via a simplified network. Cables are securely attached to load cells at the factory for a strong connection and easy installation in the field.

Rocker Column

A quick search on line will reveal the many headaches caused by traditional analog load cells. One common nuisance is the tendency for cables to eventually wrap around the cell. METTLER TOLEDO has solved this problem with the unique rocker column on all load cells. This also helps to align the load cell for accurate weighing. POWERCELL® load cells provide superior accuracy, reliability and ease of use at an economical cost.
