Introduction
For 40 years Eilon Engineering has designed and manufactured, dynamometers, crane scales, load cells and overload detectors. Our products are designed, from the ground up, with a focus on safety, quality, simplicity of use and suitability for a wide variety of applications and situations.
The majority of our systems are sold to:
- Industrial manufacturing
- Wind turbine operators and installers
- Oil & gas industry
- Offshore operations
- Shipping companies
- Utilities
- Crane supply companies
- Safety inspection firms
Although our systems are generally used for weighing during lifting they can also be used for horizontal force / tension measurement like drag / pull force measurement, controlled cable tensioning and other applications such as:
- Overload prevention: Protect your personnel and vital infrastructure from overloads caused by human error
- Periodical Crane Safety Testing: Perform annual inspections on cranes, hoists and various load bearing structures
- Bollard Pulls: Test the drag force of tug boats, tractors and similar equipment
- Foundries: Determine the precise amount a molten material in a ladle or crucible and control the composition of your metal through the use of small additives.
- Controlled cable tensioning and monitoring: Ensure proper guy wire installation and monitor tension loads in any cable.
- Shipment Weighing: Determine precise weights for incoming raw materials or finished product
- Weighing during manufacture: Any time a lift occurs is an opportunity to measure and confirm weight.
At the heart of most our products is a group of strain gauges providing an analog signal that is translated to a digital measurement by our electronics and is displayed as a digital load value.
Load values can also be outputted as a voltage or current modulated signal, as a serial data stream or recorded into the built in memory of our indicators.
We offer five main product families:
- Dynamometers: Designed for general weighing or tension measurement and monitoring. Featuring a unique design with 90 offset between shackle holes, they are meant to be used with a top and bottom shackle or integration into suitable structures. Can be used horizontally, vertically or any other orientation.
- Crane Scales: Meant for general weighing, these products feature a bottom hook and the same 90 degree offset as our dynamometers.
- Load cells: Identical to our dynamometers but lacking a digital indicator, these systems provide users with a analog signal, current modulation, voltage modulation or both. These products are generally used in combination with programmable logic controllers and similar devices.
- Overload detectors: Our electro-mechanical overload detector are designed for easy detection of overloads and under loads, without the need for complicated control systems. Overloads or under loads trigger a switch which can activate alarms, emergency stop or any other relay logic based control system.
- Ron CraneMaster: The Ron CraneMaster is an advanced multi-point load monitoring system, capable of handling a practically unlimited number of wireless cranes scales and dynamometers simultaneously. The Ron CraneMaster is ideal for complex lifting, stage rigging and advanced logistics and stock management.
