Technoton GNOM DP Axle Load Sensor for Leaf Spring Suspension

Description

In the competitive logistics sector, precise load monitoring is essential for cost control and safety. The Technoton GNOM DP Axle Load Sensor offers a robust solution for vehicles utilizing leaf spring suspension systems. Unlike standard pressure sensors, the GNOM DP functions as a position sensor, measuring the vertical displacement of the axle relative to the frame to determine the load.

The device integrates directly into your existing fleet monitoring system and transmits data as an analog signal to the telematics terminal. The tracking device then converts this signal into a precise load mass value based on a pre-configured calibration table. This process allows for real-time visibility into the weight distribution of the vehicle.

Implementing the Technoton GNOM DP Axle Load Sensor is a strategic move to prevent common industry issues. It serves as a critical tool for driver monitoring, helping to detect and prevent “underhand” or unauthorized cargo. Furthermore, by providing accurate weight data, it assists fleets in strictly adhering to weight limits, thereby eliminating the risk of costly fines associated with overloading. A single sensor installation on the rear axle or bogie is sufficient to achieve comprehensive monitoring of the vehicle’s axle and cargo load.
