Although, the cylinder with differential piston is used on a large scale in hydraulic drive or hydraulic control circuits, till now it was not used as constituent part for weight measurements devices. The novelty of the present paper is precisely the use of the device for such purposes. Based on a computation algorithm, the paper presents the general design (assembly), of the device used for weighing important masses (1…. 100 tones). The fundamental idea consist in the fact that, a mass over 10 tones may be weighted with a helicoidally spring subjected to an axial force between 0 and 3000 N, with a deflection of about 30 mm. Simultaneously with the mechanical part, the electronic recording system is also described. The great advantage of the presented device consist in the fact that it can be used in heavy polluted atmosphere or difficult topographic conditions as a result of both the small dimensions and the protection systems adopted. Keywords: cylinder hydraulic with differential piston, hydrostatic pressure, measuring devices.","","Available http://www.scientific-publications.net/download/materials-methods-and-technologies-2007.pdf","","","Bulgaria","2007-07-01","","English","Journal Article","","","1","Journal Name: Materials, methods and technologies (CD-ROM); Journal Volume: 1; Other Information: 5 refs.; 8 figs.","","Medium: ED; Size: page(s) 133-142","","","","Journal ID: ISSN 1313-2539; TRN: BG1400508107878","https://doi.org/","","2014-12-22","22286445","https://www.osti.gov/etdeweb/servlets/purl/22286445"
