Applications

Where the WST508 Works Best

Truck Weighbridges

Heavy-duty weigh-in-motion and static truck scales where the WST508's column geometry concentrates load directly on the measuring element for stable reading.

multiple capacity options capacity

Large Tank & Silo Systems

Multiple WST508 units mounted on tank feet form a complete silo / hopper weighing system with 3- or 4-point summation boxes available.

Tank kit optional

Heavy Industrial Batching

Concrete batching, asphalt plants and bulk-material dosing rely on the WST508 for repeatable accuracy under constant impact and vibration.

Electrical Notes

  • Shielded cable; keep away from motor/power runs, ground the shield at the indicator side

Mounting Checklist

  1. Mount on a rigid, flat base
  2. Torque mounting screws evenly; avoid over-torque that preloads the measuring element
  3. Keep the load applied through the intended loading axis; verify alignment before calibration
  4. Verify zero balance before calibration, then calibrate with certified test weights
