load cell recalibration

Drift often shows up as a consistent offset in the zero reading when no load is applied. If you notice unexplained shifts in your readings, or if the sensor fails a system calibration check, it’s time to investigate. Some users also spot non-linearity when testing with known weights. Regular calibration checks every 6 to 12 months are a good practice.

Yes. Kingmach recalibrates load cells regardless of the original manufacturer. Our calibration procedures are based on standard force calibration methods using traceable reference equipment. The only requirement is that the sensor is stable and mechanically intact.

The key details are the load cell model, capacity, excitation voltage, and output sensitivity (mV/V) if known. Telling us how it’s being used helps too, especially if there’s been an overload event. If the load cell has a calibration certificate from the previous calibration, we can compare and give you a detailed drift report.

Most standard industrial load cells are completed within 3 to 5 working days after arrival. More complex setups, such as multi-axis sensors or very high-capacity cells, may take longer. We can provide a more precise timeline once we know the specifics of your sensor.

In many cases yes, especially for large or permanently installed load cells where removal is impractical. Our team can travel to your site with portable working standards and calibration equipment. The feasibility depends on the sensor type and site conditions; it’s best to discuss directly with our technical team.
