Belt Scales · Sensors & Calibration · Zone 05

A scale is only as accurate as its speed signal, its weigh-class idlers and its last calibration. These are the components and services that hold measurement to its commissioning baseline.

01 / The range

The sensors & calibration range.

Accuracy is quoted as achievable; NRCS accreditation is pending per the catalogue, and final specification is confirmed by Tru-Trac engineering.

Sensors

  • Roller Speed Sensor

    • Brushless system built into the wing roller for accurate belt-speed measurement.
    • Weatherproof, fully enclosed design with no exposed parts.
    • Reinforced idler-roll shaft for durability; simplified replacement.
    • Optional external wheel-to-belt speed sensor.
  • Stepper Motor Speed Sensor V3

    • Gravity-fed speed-sensor wheel that runs on the return belt.
    • Protection cover guards the sensing device against material spillage.
    • 100 pulses per revolution.
    • Two-wire connection to the integrator or junction box.

Weigh-class hardware

  • Weigh Class Frame & Idlers

    • Precise approach and retreat idlers for accurate weight measurement.
    • Expertly machined and balanced for exceptional weighing accuracy.
    • Manufactured entirely in-house.

Calibration equipment

  • AccuCal Roller Calibration Chain

    • Replicates material-loading dynamics for accurate, repeatable calibration.
    • Compensates for belt-tension fluctuations to reduce calibration error.
    • Automated carousel and control panel for safe, efficient calibration.
    • Compatible with various belt-scale models.

Belt scale services (OEM)

  • Preventive maintenance

    • Full system inspection, repairs, and final calibration and certification, documented.
  • Scale calibration

    • Certified weights, calibration chains or material reference, with a calibration certificate.
  • Diagnosis and repair

    • Root-cause diagnosis, transparent repair, closing with calibration and certification.
  • Certification

    • Calibration and official sealing toward legal-for-trade requirements (NRCS accreditation pending).
  • Installation

    • Precise mechanical installation, which directly drives repeatability and accuracy.
  • Weighing services and weight studies

    • Tailored to specific operational needs.

The accuracy holds because the calibration and service hold.

As the OEM, Tru-Trac services its own scales — the service that holds the accuracy.
