Load Cell

Load Cell is a transducer that converts force into electrical signals. It relies on strain gauges—thin stainless steel sensors inside the load cell—that deform under force. This deformation alters resistance, which is then converted into a measurable weight value.

Description:

Load cells operate based on strain gauge technology. When force is applied, the strain gauges inside deform, causing a change in electrical resistance. This signal is processed and converted into a weight or force value. Advanced models integrate temperature compensation and digital signal processing for enhanced accuracy.

Key Features:
  • High Accuracy & Sensitivity – Detects minute force variations.
  • Robust & Durable – Designed for harsh environments with stainless steel or alloy construction.
  • Multiple Configurations – Available in compression, tension, and shear types for various applications.
  • Real-Time Data Transmission – Supports analog and digital outputs for remote monitoring.
Applications:
  • Geotechnical Monitoring – Tracks structural load, foundation settlement, and tunnel stability.
  • Civil Engineering – Measures stress in bridges, dams, and high-rise buildings.
  • Industrial Weighing – Used in conveyor belt scales, silo monitoring, and material testing.
  • Aerospace & Automotive – Ensures structural integrity in load-bearing components.
