In this YouTube video, Rice Lake Weighing Systems looks at five different types of load cells. Load cells measure the weight of tension, pressure, torque, or compression through electrical signals. Each class has a set tension load cell range that is good for different things.

Single point load cells work well for lighter capacity uses like bench scales or shipping scales.

Standard weights are between 1 and 1,000 kilograms.

Singled-ended shear beam load cells are secured at one end of a platform. These work well for floor-scale applications between 1,000 to 20,000 pounds.

Double-ended shear beam load cells are secured at both ends of a scale and support between 1,000 and 200,000 pounds. These types of plates typically weigh vehicles and their cargo.

S-beam or S-shaped load cells measure weight as tension is applied in either direction. These load cells work well for weighing vessels or marine craft and can sustain between 25 to 40,000 pounds.

Canister load cells, also known as pancake-style load cells, work for larger empirical structures. They provide weights through compression and measure between 10,000 to 500,000 pounds.

A certified dealer can help a person figure out which type of load cell might be best for their project or needs. It could create unsafe working conditions by using the wrong type.

Bicycling has been a popular recreation for decades now. More and more people are spending more and more money on their hobby. As the technology improves, repairs become more costly. Some people take it into their own hands to fix up their bikes, but they may not be such a good idea. In this video, you will learn what mistakes should be avoided when performing a bicycle repair.

Oftentimes, the bicycle seat will become stuck in place.

You may never need to move it if you’re the only person riding that bike, but it is still a situation to avoid. In order to avoid this, take out your seat post semi-regularly and apply a layer of lubricant on it. This will avoid any reaction between the 2 metals which leads to the seat seizing in place.

After doing this, your seat height may be different from where it is prior to adding the lubricant. This can be quite an annoyance for some people, but it can be dealt with. The easy fix for this is, before you remove the seat, put a piece of tape at the bottom of the post. When you put your seat back in, all you have to do is line up the piece of tape with the bottom of the hole where the seat enters. It is an extremely easy and proactive action to take.

As shown in the video, Gyro-Track is a machine that is used for eco-friendly land clearing, which is a good thing because it allows the people who are running the machine to maintain the live soil and does not push it out of the way. The high-quality organic material is not ultimately removed from the site, which allows you to keep it there and use it to grow all of your plants.

It is important to use mulching instead of normal land clearing methods because it allows you to not only maintain but actually enhance the live soil.

If you put a layer of high-quality mulch on the ground, it will be ready for you to plant as soon as the machine leaves the site. This is good for high vegetation areas. There are multiple settings on the machine, and it can even be used on rock. When the machine is operating, the teeth can move at 700 feet per second, which is extremely fast.

Tree Works Inc. is happy to come out and handle any mulching projects that a client would have, and they would be happy to answer any questions about how the machine does its work as well.

Being able to separate oil and water from each other is important in many industries, especially in the oil and gas industry. In this video, you will learn all about oil & water separators. There are a few methods that can be used, and they differ depending on if the oil is in the water or if the water is in the oil.

This video will go over 6 methods so you can gain an understanding and an inside look at this part of the oil and gas industry.

Some of the methods discussed in the video include using heat, gravity, agitation, and others. Heat causes the water and oil molecules to be released more easily because of a change in viscosity and density. Gravity works because of a difference in density between water and oil. Given enough time, the oil will naturally rise to the top of the water. Agitation uses a diverter plate to break surface tension which will cause the separation process to begin. The video will show you examples of each of these, plus more, so you can see exactly how they work.
