High Temperature Strain Gauges for Measurement

A mechanical strain gauge sensor measures changes associated with the vehicle suspension and converts them into weight information. TruckWeight SG-1 and SG-2 systems support payload measurement for spring or mechanical suspension vehicles, with readings available through handheld displays or cloud-based analytics. Calibration data can be transferred when moving a system from truck to truck.

The SG-2 is listed for spring trailers, drive axle weighing, walking beam suspension vehicles, and Chalmers suspension systems. It is also identified for dump trucks, roll-off trucks, hydrovac trucks, commercial fleets, and mining and agriculture vehicles. Compatibility should be checked against the specific suspension configuration before ordering.

TruckWeight identifies SG-1 and SG-2 as variants of its mechanical strain gauge onboard truck scale system. The supplied information does not provide a complete technical comparison between the variants. Both support spring or mechanical suspensions, wireless monitoring, handheld and cloud-based readout options, and transferable calibration data.

Yes. The technical information states that installation takes minutes and requires no special tools. The systems are designed for wireless operation, avoiding complicated wires, cables, and electrical connections. Actual installation requirements can vary with the vehicle and suspension configuration, so review the installation documentation for the selected sensor.

The SG-1 and SG-2 support handheld display and cloud-based analytics options. This allows operators to access onboard weight information locally or through fleet data workflows, depending on the selected configuration. The broader TruckWeight offering also supports weight-data visibility for monitoring, reporting, calibration, quality control, and maintenance activities.

The supplied product information describes the sensors as waterproof, shock-resistant, and corrosion-free. These characteristics are intended to support operation in changing weather and demanding fleet environments. A specific high-temperature rating, environmental temperature range, or product-specific safety standard is not provided and should be confirmed with TruckWeight for the intended application.
