AC40-LP™ Low-Profile Aircraft Scale Description

The AC40-LP™ 15" x 22" (381 x 559 mm) scale is designed to eliminate the need for long ramps and reduces overall towing distance. With a platform and capacities large enough to accommodate the main gear of a B767, this aircraft scale is able to handle most any job.

At Intercomp, we manufacture AC40-LP™ Low-Profile Aircraft Scales that utilize integrated shear beam load cells to meet accuracy and performance standards set by US and European government metrology authorities. Intercomp’s GaugeSense™ technology includes fully electronic shear beam load cells with state-of-the-art strain gauge load sensing and electronics. These mitigate the effects of side and rotational forces, and load cells are linearized to deliver accurate and repeatable results through the entire range of capacity.

AC40-LP™ Low-Profile Platform Scales Advantages

The AC40-LP™ combines aviation industry leading accuracy in a platform that weighs just 49 lb (22 kg). The low scale height minimizes towing distance, saving valuable space in an aircraft hangar.

Each scale contains an easy to read 1" (25 mm) high LCD with back light. On board diagnostics continuously monitor the status of the scale, while built-in temperature compensation and digital filtering provide stable readings with excellent zero return for added assurance in your readings. Additional AC40-LP™ benefits include:

Platform Weighs only 49 lb (22 kg)
Low-Profile, 1.7" (43 mm) Scale Height
Integrated RFX® Wireless Weighing Technology
Temperature Compensation, Auto Leveling & Auto Calibration Correction
Certified Intrinsically Safe Scales Available

AC40-LP™ Low-Profile Aircraft Scale Applications

Intercomp AC40-LP™ platform scale systems are used for fixed or rotary wing aircraft with wheel weights up to 40,000 lb (20,000 kg). Using AC40-LP™ low-profile aircraft scales, the process of deploying ramps, scales, and overrun spacers takes a matter of minutes. The following applications reflect the broad use potential of Intercomp’s AC40-LP™ platform scales.

Intrinsically Safe Scales in Aircraft Hangars

Areas immediately around aircraft have the potential of fuel or fumes to be present, and this needs to be accounted for when servicing aircraft. Widely recognized at the global leader in fully electronic wireless aircraft platform scales, Intercomp has received ATEX EX certification for the range of wireless platform scales.
