Large counterweight weight, 5000kg weight block is a popular measurement unit. Its specifications range from 5KG to 5000KG. It can be used in many industries such as machinery and metallurgy. Its main characteristics are wear resistance, high accuracy, and resistance to corrosion.
In addition, a maximum of 5 user features (characters, letters and numbers) can be applied as a data matrix to clearly
identify the weights as test or measuring equipment. These user features can be defined by the customer when
ordering.
5000kg (5 tons) weights or counterweights are large-scale heavy-duty weighing tools or balancing components, mainly used in industrial, scientific research, metrology and testing scenarios with extremely high requirements for accuracy and stability. The following are its core application areas and specific scenario descriptions:
### **I. Industrial and metrology testing fields**
#### 1. **Calibration of large scales (core use)**
- **Application scenarios**:
- Calibrate **floor scales (truck scales)**, track scales, large crane scales and other weighing equipment. For example: The scales in the logistics park need to regularly verify the weighing accuracy with 5 tons of weights (the error must be controlled within ±0.1%).
- Calibrate **industrial weighing sensors** (such as sensors installed on cranes and conveyor scales) to ensure the measurement accuracy of bulk goods (such as ore and building materials).
- **Operation method**:
- Place the weights on the scales by forklift or crane, compare the displayed value with the nominal value of the weights, and adjust the scale parameters.
- Some scenarios require a combination of multiple weights (such as 2 2.5-ton weights) to achieve calibration with a larger weighing range.
#### 2. **Heavy equipment counterweight and stability test**
- **Application scenarios**:
- **Construction machinery**: When commissioning cranes and tower cranes, counterweights are needed to simulate loads and test the equipment's anti-overturning ability and structural strength (for example: a 5-ton counterweight is required at the balance end of the crane boom to balance the hoisting weight).
- **Shipbuilding and marine engineering**: Used to simulate cargo weight, adjust the ship's center of gravity, and test navigation stability in shipbuilding; used as a fixed counterweight during installation of offshore platform equipment.
- **Elevator commissioning**: In the installation of traction elevators, counterweights are used to simulate rated loads (such as 5-ton cargo elevators) to test motor power, braking performance, and wire rope stress.
### **Second, scientific research and laboratory scenarios**
#### 1. **Material mechanics experiment**
- **Application scenarios**:
- When testing the compressive and tensile strength of metal plates, bridge components, etc. in the laboratory, a constant load (such as 5 tons of pressure) is applied through weights or counterweights to observe the deformation or destruction process of the material.
- For example: a car crash test bench uses a counterweight to simulate the weight of the car body and test the airbag triggering mechanism.
#### 2. **Aerospace and automotive industry**
- **Application scenarios**:
- **Aircraft component testing**: Simulate the static load borne by aircraft engines and landing gear (such as a 5-ton counterweight pressed on the landing gear to test durability).
- **Automobile chassis adjustment**: In the suspension system test, a counterweight is used to simulate the weight of the vehicle cargo to optimize the shock absorption effect and handling performance.
### **Three, customized applications for special industries**
#### 1. **Nuclear energy and high-energy physics experiments**
- **Application scenarios**:
- In particle accelerators and nuclear reactor equipment, as a counterweight for shielding materials (such as lead counterweights), while ensuring the stability of the center of gravity of the equipment (need to be combined with radiation protection design).
#### 2. **Amusement facility safety inspection**
- **Application scenarios**:
- When accepting amusement facilities such as roller coasters and large bungee jumping machines, counterweights are required to simulate the weight of a full load of passengers (such as 5 tons) to test the track load-bearing, braking system reliability and structural safety.
### **Fourth, technical features of weights and counterweights**
| **Type** | **Material** | **Accuracy level** | **Key points of design** | **Typical scenarios** |
|------------|----------------|--------------------|----------------------------------|----------------------------|
| **Standard weights** | Cast iron, stainless steel | OIML M1 grade (industrial use) | Smooth surface, with calibration certificate, corrosion-resistant | Scale calibration, metrology testing |
| **Counterweights** | Cast iron, steel, concrete | No strict accuracy requirements | Strong structure, splicable combination, with lifting ring design | Equipment counterweight, mechanical testing |
### **Five, precautions for use**
1. **Safe handling**: Professional lifting equipment (such as forklifts and cranes) must be used to avoid the risk of falling due to manual handling.
2. **Storage environment**: Weights must be stored in a dry environment without corrosive gases, and regularly cleaned and maintained to maintain accuracy; counterweights must be moisture-proof and impact-proof.
3. **Compliance**: Weights used for metrological calibration need to be regularly verified by legal metrological institutions (e.g. once a year) to ensure compliance with national metrological standards.
### **Summary**
5000kg weights and counterweights are indispensable tools in industrial production, scientific research and safety testing. Their core value lies in **providing a stable and traceable quality benchmark** or **simulating real load scenarios** to ensure that equipment performance, measurement results and system safety meet standards. According to the specific purpose, it is necessary to select the appropriate material, accuracy level and structural design, and strictly follow the operating specifications to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

IKLAY weights | The "stabilizing force" of belt scale accuracy under harsh working conditions, the ultimate benchmark for durability verification!
Core selling points: Benchmark-level stability · No attenuation in harsh environments · Maintenance-free design · Core equipment for belt scale durability verification · Factory calibration certificate
Is there no standard verification for belt scale durability? The national standard requires long-term anti-interference of belt scales, but the regulations (JJG 195, GB/T 7721) lack a unified durability test method. How to prove that your equipment can stand the test of time?
The on-site working conditions are harsh and the accuracy is difficult to trace? Roller sticking, belt deviation, tension fluctuations... Traditional weights are easily eroded by the environment and cause inaccuracy. How to provide a reliable on-site calibration benchmark for belt scales?
Type evaluation lacks a "durability scale"? The results of the user's on-site re-inspection are incomparable, and a stable and reproducible measurement benchmark is urgently needed to verify the long-term performance of the belt scale.
IKLAY solution: Use the eternal stability of weights to define the durability and reliability of belt scales!
As a high-precision weight manufacturer, IKLAY knows that the durability of belt scales begins with the absolute stability of the calibration benchmark! In harsh environments such as mines, cement, and ports, IKLAY weights are your ultimate weapon to verify the long-term accuracy of equipment:
Durable weights designed specifically for industrial sites
"Zero" impact of harsh environments:
Using military-grade non-magnetic stainless steel and multi-layer composite anti-corrosion coatings to resist high humidity, salt spray, and dust erosion. Even if exposed to mine dust or port salt spray for a long time, the mass change rate is still far better than the highest level requirements of OIML R111, eliminating misjudgments caused by inaccurate weights.
Mechanical shock "rock-solid":
Special structural design and strengthening process ensures anti-deformation and anti-wear under conditions such as frequent handling and belt vibration, maintains the original accuracy of the weight level, and provides an unshakable on-site benchmark for belt scales.
"Adaptive" to temperature fluctuations:
Precise temperature compensation technology greatly reduces the effect of thermal expansion and contraction. The annual mass change under -20ºC to +50ºC environment is less than 1/3 of the maximum allowable error, ensuring the calibration reliability of the belt scale in scenarios with severe temperature differences.
"Golden Ruler" for Durability Testing of Belt Scales
The cornerstone of type evaluation:
When regulations lack specific durability test methods, IKLAY weights provide a quantifiable and reproducible stable benchmark. Manufacturers can verify the accuracy retention ability of belt scales after simulating aging/harsh working conditions through periodic weight calibration, providing authoritative data support for type evaluation.
"Trust Anchor" for On-site Maintenance:
Even in the face of interference such as roller sticking and belt deviation, regular on-site calibration with IKLAY weights can quickly diagnose the root cause of belt scale performance drift, distinguish equipment problems from environmental interference, reduce ineffective maintenance, and improve effective operation rate.
"Invisible Guardian" Beyond Old Regulations:
0.5mm Alignment of Rollers? Frame Deflection? IKLAY weights do not rely on ideal working conditions. They use absolute mass benchmarks to directly verify the anti-interference ability and long-term stability of belt scales in real complex environments, making durability "visible and accurate".
Why choose IKLAY weights?
Focus on benchmark durability: We don't make belt scales, but only the "heart" of scales - using decades of weight technology to protect the long-term credibility of industrial measurement.
Verify the key that regulations do not state: Provide an executable on-site test benchmark solution for the "durability clause" of JJG 195/GB/T 7721 to fill the gap in the standard.
User value doubled:
→ Belt scale manufacturers: accelerate product reliability verification and improve the persuasiveness of type evaluation
→ End users: reduce fault misjudgment, reduce calibration costs, and extend the maintenance-free period of belt scales
Application scenarios:
Belt scale factory aging test bench | On-site calibration at mines/ports | Durability evaluation by third-party metrology agencies | Regular calibration of high-dust cement plants | Accuracy traceability of power plants with severe temperature differences
